Hi, can any one help what I Would like to do is, in column A1 to A10 I put in
a series of numbers each bigger than the next, in column B2-B10 I need a calculation that tells me what percentage A2 is greater than A1 and then What percentage A3 is greater than A1 and so on, the in C1 I would put in a number and in C2 a number that is greater than C1 by the percentage in B2 and so on. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance. Tommy. |

Enter this in B2 and copy down till B10
=(B2-B$1)/B$1*100 Enter this in C2 and copy down =C1*(1+B2/100) -- Always provide your feedback so that others know whether the solution worked or problem still persists ...

To convert into percentage. One can do that by clicking on % too...
Increase from 1 to 1.5 is 0.5 or 50%... I hope I am making sense... -- Always provide your feedback so that others know whether the solution worked or problem still persists ...
