Integrity of Sales Reports

This past week I ran a Sales Report, Sales by Sku, for 2017 and the same period in 2016 and 2015. After downloading them in CSV format I deleted all but four columns, deleted rows having skus with a $0 total (pours, sales & marketing, spoilage etc.).

I then totaled the sales for each period and the number of tastings (guests)

These three reports were to be used in a group meeting, however, I discovered that the bottom line varied each time I each time I ran the same report.

The parameters are the same for each report but every time the bottom line total changes.

Why?

We started using Vin 65 as our POS last February so the sales data was imported from our previous system. Could that be the flake factor in all of this?
