Default What is the calculating formula of Working % and Net Moves Per Hour in CT?

I found some strange value about the StatsExport excel in flexsim CT.

The values are some difficult to understand it.
I attached the screen captured of the result values.
Left result 'Working %' value is higher than right side value.
But the value of 'Net Moves Per Hour' is lower than the value of 'Net Moves Per Hour' in the right side.

The results are same model with different container placement rule.

I want to know all the formula of them like 'Working %', 'Waiting %', and Gross Moves and Net Moves Per Hour.
And where can I find the values to be used in the formula?

Help me!

Default

The mouse-over tooltips in the statistics GUI define the parameters:
% Working = Total Time - (Idle Time + Scheduled Down Time + Breakdown Time)
% Waiting for Truck = Working time that was spent waiting for a truck
Net Moves/Hour = Throughput / Working Time

In the screen on the right your % Working went down, but your % Waiting also went significantly down, so your overall net went up.

Though...
I can't find the tooltips in the Statistics window when mouse-over near the fields.
What's the problem in my PC and flexsim CT?
