Read the number as a two-key filter (BLACKSTONE GROUP and 2008), not as a Blackstone PAC, a private-equity NAICS rollup, or Blackstone as a corporate treasury.

2008 filtered to Blackstone Group

Blackstone Group is private-equity employer text. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 44 unique donors matched the stored string in 2008. Repeat gifts can raise 91 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.
The all-cycle Blackstone Group total of $10,150,476 still includes other windows. Citing $10,150,476 as if it were 2008 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2008 hub as if it were Blackstone Group-only would overstate the year.
3.6% in 2008, 96.4% elsewhere
3.6% of stored Blackstone Group money is tagged 2008 ($367,000). 96.4% is not ($9,783,476). Both percentages use $10,150,476 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.
The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2008 so $10,150,476 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Blackstone Group storage is $10,150,476. Subtract the 2008 cell and $9,783,476 remains. That remainder is 96.4% of the grouping. 3.6% is the 2008 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.
