Here is my quandry and I am probably over thinking it. I have a starting
cost of $26.00 with an end cost of $26.54. I need to know the formula that
will show the margin. If I divide $26.54 by $26 I end up with 1.021 but I
can't create the formula to remove the leading 1 to get to the margin of 2.1%.
Thanks for any help.
