Hi,

 Is the punctuation  and grammar of the following sentence correct? ‘I was about to ask him a question about a sales figure, without realizing that I was looking at the wrong table and thinking the figure to be an annual number.' Thanks, MG.

It's OK. I'd do this:

I was about to ask him a question about a sales figure without realizing that I was looking at the wrong table and thinking the figure was an annual amount.
