Hi Niek,
It was a finger-blur, not a brain-blur. I try to be very careful about
names, as I often get my surname spelt with just one l, and it annoys me so
much that I try and not be guilty of like errors.
Anyway, even if you are used to it, it still deserves an apology :-)
Regards
Bob

It can be done
=IF(G3<1000,-MOD(1000,G3),MOD(G3,1000))/1000
If you don't need the negative sign you could use
=MOD(MAX(1000,G4),MIN(1000,G4))/1000
but in these circumstances, Nick's formula looks simpler.

Hi
I'm new to spreadsheets and I suspect this problem is very easy
to
solve,
G2
is a value of £1048.00. In H2 I want to show this as a percentage
gain
from
a starting point of £1000.00 ie 4.8%. I would like H2 to show
4.8%
or
4.80%. I'm going round in circles.....
Many thanks :-)
=MOD(G2,1000)/1000
and format as percentage

Wow, fantastic, I'd never have known that! Is there anyway of
modiying
the
formula to deal with 952 as a percentage of a 1000? In the sense
that
for
the purposes of my spreadsheet this is a negative %... -4.80%
Thanks
