Percentage formula in Excel spreadsheet
Hi, In my spreadsheet cell E14 adds up E2 - E14 and cell C14 adds up C2 -
C14. In G14 I have put a formula to show the difference between E14 and C14 as a Percentage ( formula for G14 is =SUM(E14-C14)/ABS(E14) ). When the Formula for G14 looks at E14 and C14 all it sees is a SUM formula to add up the column. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. Many thanks for looking. Rick |

Percentage formula in Excel spreadsheet
Not sure I understand the problem; tell us what answer or error you are getting. Also, don't you mean you are summing C2:C*13* in C14 and E2:E*13* in E14? Oh, and you can get rid of the Sum - this is all you need: =(E14-C14)/ABS(E14) Rick Wrote: Hi, In my spreadsheet cell E14 adds up E2 - E14 and cell C14 adds up C2 - C14.

I just duplicated your description of your situation in XL2k, including copy
and paste your G14 formula, and it all seems to work fine.........perhaps a typo on your spreadsheet? Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Rick" wrote in message ...

Don't know what was wrong but I did the formula again and this time it
worked, although the percentage answer was a couple of points out it is close enough. Thanks again.
