I get my Summation number directly off Sherman McClellans website.
 
The Advance  Decline numbers he uses are directly off the New York Stocks Exchange.
Yahoo  A / D numbers are not always correct but I can verify those numbers for correctness  in  Barrons  newspaper each week.
 
I usually check Barron's for verification of any data each week if I'm not too sure of the source of data is reliable.

I've no idea where you get your figure from. Which index are you following? Are you using the ratio adjusted formulae I posted?
 
Try looking at the Stockcharts links posted earlier.
 
I use eSignal for my A/D data.
