| Working Population Profile R2.0 | There has been a problem found with both the Census2006_geog_desc.xls and Census2006_geog_hier_update.csv files in the 'Metadata' folder. The problem arises as the Capital City and State/Territory Undefined dumpcodes have not been included and poses a problem for when the user is matching the geocodes and descripters to the WPP csv files from that of the files noted above. The issues are as follows:
- There are no SD, SSD, JWSLA or LGA Capital City and State/Territory Undefined dumpcodes included in the Census2006_geog_hier_update.csv file.
- The SD, SSD and LGA Capital City and State/Territory Undefined dumpcodes have also been omitted from the Census2006_geog_desc.xls file.
- However, the JWSLA for Capital City and State/Territory Undefined dumpcodes are included in the Census2006_geog_desc.xls file.

| Basic Community Profile R2.0 | CSV Data
For Collection District the WA tables 22 A and 22 B are populated with 0's. These tables should be populated with numerical data.
The SA and WA UCL files are WA and vise-versa. These have been renamed, ie: the file 'UCL_SA_B01.csv' to UCL_WA_B01.csv' and vise versa.
For SSC, tables B42 and 43 are missing approximately 40 SSC's.
For all geographies table B38 is to be updated. Data values that contribute to the table will change.
Metadata
For file: BCP2006_cell_desc_dp_R2.xls
The letter 'm' was attached to data variables that should be 'persons' in the metadata file:
Cells misaligned with DataPack cell counts for table splits.
Cells B6422 is the ending of Table 42 (B) and cell 6423 is the start of Table 42 (C)
Cells B6622 is the ending of Table 42 (C) and cell 6623 is the start of Table 42 (D) | The corrected files are available to DataPack users via zip file over email.

Corrected files were included in the 2.1 release Basic Community DataPack, which were available from December 2007. | 23/11/2007 |
| Time Series Profile R1.2 | T02: Some Median Values are incorrect due to errors in 3 geographic concordances between '96 and '01.
T14: Was calculated with incorrect perturbation and additivity leading to incorrect values in the data.
T18: The 'HIND' recode was incorrect leading to table T18 displaying 'incorrect' data. | These files have since been corrected and are available to DataPack users via zip file over email.

| Expanded Community Profile R1.0 | The metadata files 'XCP2006_FRP_seq.xls' and 'XCP2006_cell_desc.xls' are out of sequence with one another, eg:
Example 1:
Table X03C in the 'FRP_seq' file has more columns than the 'cell_desc' metadata file.
Example 2:
Table X04 in the 'cell_desc' metadata file is missing values for split tables up to the 198th cell in table C.
Example 3:
Cell difference of almost 200 between the 'FRP_seq' file and the 'cell_desc' file from Expanded community metadata:
Cell Descriptor file & comments | Sequence File & comments |
XCP2006_cell_desc_dp.xls
Last cell is X16856
1st Release last cell is X12687 | XCP2006_FRP_seq.xls
Last cell is X16845
1st Release last cell is X12492 |
