Default Calculating growth with negative numbers

I am trying to calculate growth rates with negative and positive numbers.
Using a simple (Period 2-Period 1)/Period 1 is not sufficient because the +
or - growth % is not properly reflecting if I have positive growth because I
have gone from negative Net Income to Positive Net Income. How can I change
the formula so that I can make sure that % growth is calculating properly
whether or not I have positive or negative numbers?

Thanks!
