Data Buffet carries an excerpt of the report, specifically, Table 4 of six.

In response, we have:

1. Archived the 66 predecessors (NAICS 2007, 1992 to 2015) by renaming with an "_I2007" specifier, marking metadata as discontinued, and segregating in the catalog.
2. Created 66 one-for-one replacements (NAICS 2012, from 1992) with standardized mnemonics.
3. Added three new series (one new NAICS branch).
4. Refurbished the catalog.

Active dataset properties:

• Industry classification: NAICS 2012
• Industry scope: 423 and 424
• Enterprise scope: U.S. merchant wholesalers except manufacturers' sales branches and offices (MSBOs)
• Measurements: Millions of U.S. dollars (Mil. USD) or percent (%)
• Native frequency: Annual
• Start date: 1992 or 1993 (unchanged)

There is one new reported category:

• Medical, dental, hospital equipment and supplies [42345]

The series reside in the historical catalog (United States » Industry » Wholesale (BOC AWTS)) and include, for example:

• WTP_I2007A.IUSA  = [DISCONTINUED] Wholesale trade: Purchases - All wholesale [42], (Mil. USD)
• WRLPU42UA.IUSA   = Wholesale: Purchases - All wholesale [42], (Mil. USD)
• WRLGM424UA.IUSA  = Wholesale: Gross margins - Nondurable goods [424], (Mil. USD)
• WR%GS4244UA.IUSA = Wholesale: Gross margins as percent of sales - Groceries; related products [4244], (%)

We have standardized the mnemonics for consistency across the Census Bureau wholesale and retail datasets, and internationally. The renaming patterns for the three subsets are, for example:
