Percentage between two numbers
Hi, i have this two situations:
2394 34 -98,58% 34 2394 6941,18% This is the formulas i used: =(B1-A1)/ABS(A1) =(B2-A2)/ABS(A2) I need a formula to calculate the percentage of differences between two numbers even if the first is bigger than the second or the other way around. This is how i need the final result to look: 2394 34 -98,58% 34 2394 +98,58% Can this be done? Thanks! |

Percentages don't work that way. If your investment portfolio drops 50%
(from $10,000 to $5,000), you need a 100% increase to get back to your starting position. Similarly, going from 2394 to 34 is a 98% decrease, but to get from 34 back up to 2394, you need a 6941% increase. Your original formulas are correct. Regards, Fred "puiuluipui" wrote in message ...

You could try the following formula instead...
=IF(A2B2,(B2-A2)/ABS(A2),ABS((A2-B2)/ABS(B2))) and then set the custom format to +0,00%;-0,00% Best of luck "puiuluipui" wrote: Hi, i have this two situations: 2394 34 -98,58% 34 2394 6941,18% This is the formulas i used: =(B1-A1)/ABS(A1) =(B2-A2)/ABS(A2) I need a formula to calculate the percentage of differences between two numbers even if the first is bigger than the second or the other way around.

Percentage between two numbers
Hi, i understand your explication. Can you help me with a solution? I need to
make a comparison. I have two column representing sales value. In first column i have february and in second column i have march. I need to know how much the value of sales increased or decreased(%). How many times the value increased or decreased(the sales increased 70.4 times). Even though the formula is correct, i need a simple way for both situations(2394 and 34 ; 34 and 2394). I need to know that one product decreased and another increased sales value.(+ and -) If i use the first formula in both situations, i will be very confused. I need another way. I just want to make a accountancy comparison between two columns. Can you help me? Thanks! "Fred Smith" wrote: Percentages don't work that way.

You already have the correct formula. You are doing the "accountancy
comparison between the two columns". If you post back with sample data, and the specific results you want in each situation, then maybe we can come up with appropriate formulas.

Percentage between two numbers
The thing is that is hard for me to interpret corectly both
situations(-98,58% ; 6941,18%)when actually both situations are identical. I need to view datas something like : this product sales dropes with 35% and the other increased with 59%, depending on sales. I have in one worsheet all datas and in other i will have all the results. I really don't know exactly what i want and how the statistic to look like. I am gathering some datas for now. This thing with the percentage was one of it. Maybe you have some links for accountancy comparison to give to me. I will try to explain my table. The datas looks like this: february code price sales $ quantity 230305 1.58 2394.68 1613 234404 2.20 1147.96 565 3019 0.88 1094.64 1307 march code price sales $ quantity 230305 1.77 751.21 506 234404 3.03 0.00 0 3019 0.94 442.00 528 This datas ore one next to the other. February and to the right march. In other sheet i need to make a sales comparison between this two month. I really dont know what comparison to make. I am just gathering data about how to make this to work. I guess this raport must be about the differences between values ($), differences between quantity, percentage and the diferences of price per unit. I started with a question about percentage. I will need to look for the rest. And i will return with some more questions when i will have an ideea about how the comparison report will look like. If you can help me with some links, i will apreciate. If you can help me with some ideas for the above table, i will apreciate again. if not, thanks you for everything and for your patience. Thanks!

If you divide by the maximum you'll get your 98.58%; if you divide by the
minimum you'll get the 6941.18%. -- David Biddulph "puiuluipui" wrote in message ...
