What blt states is correct. The zeros are there because neither side is dominant.

You are also not looking at the calculations correctly. Here is a snippet of the data:

97 106
105 63
51 86

For the level that has 105 and 63, the Diagonal calculations are the following:
Ask Side: 63 - 51
Bid Side: 106 - 105

The Bid Side is not greater than the next higher Ask, so it is not dominant. The Ask Side is greater then the next lower Bid, so it is dominant. Therefore, the Ask Side is dominant in this case, and a value of 12 is displayed.

Refer to the information for the Diagonal Dominant side in the following section:
