Default Macro for a comparison

You can do this easily just with standard calculations in column K; e.g. (for
K1):
= (I1-J1)/J1 (formatted properly, would give %)
= 100*(I1-J1)/J1 gives the number in the format you mention

Hello,

I would like the code for the following:

Compare the numbers in column I to column J (column I will always be a
bigger number). Display the result in column K in a percentage off high
(meaning column I) Its ok to display like: -7, no need to put the % sign.

example 49.35 is column I, 47 is column J column K should read -5, meaning
47 is 5% away from 49.35 and just display it as -5

Thanks in advance
