If Period Survival is used, the above columns will be repeated for each Estimate Year specified on the Parameters tab, and the "N" column will be replaced with the following columns:
- Min N - The smallest number of people alive at the start of the interval that begins this conditional range (for conditional survival) in any table that contributes to this statistic.
- Max N - The largest number of people alive at the start of the interval that begins this conditional range (for conditional survival) in any table that contributes to this statistic.
