Formula for Growth %
I have been asked to add a Growth % to a spreadsheet someone else created.
I'm not real familiar with any formulas to do this, can someone help me? Below is how they want it set up: JAN FEB MAR APR etc.... 2007 7 13 10 10 2008 10 6 3 9 Variance 3 -7 -7 -1 Growth % 2009 9 8 12 12 Variance -1 2 9 3 Growth % I have searched for this on the internet and within this site, but it seems like growth %'s are very confusing!!! Any help you can give is appreciated! |

Hi,
you have two ways to do that let's assume that Jan information is in column B and 2007 information in cell B2, 2008 in cell B2 and variance in B3 1st option is =B3/B1 2nd =(B2/B1)-1 with either formula you get the same results, copy then the formula to your right to compare 2009 use the same logic "Tasha" wrote: I have been asked to add a Growth % to a spreadsheet someone else created.

Any help you can give is appreciated! The way I have always done the % Increase or decrease is as follows... (New-Old)/Old or (New/old)-1. Both bring out the same results. you should get roughly 42% for jan 07-08 increase. 42% of 7 is about 3. So your increase is 42%. setting it up in excel, it would look like the following: use the actual cell reference instead of the actual numbers =(10-7)/7 or =(10/7)-1 |

well, I tried what you gave me, but am more than a little confused, let me
put my columns/rows in and can you set the formula(s) up for them? Sorry, at the risk of sounding really dumb, I didn't get anything with the formula you gave me. I use Excel a lot, I'm really not stupid, :) but for some reason, I didn't get anything that looked right..... I really appreciate your help!!!

Ok,
In D10 enter =D9/D7 format D10 as percentage ( if you don't the result you'll see is 0.428) in D14 enter =D13/D8 Format D14 as percentage,( if you dont the result will be 0.10) Then copy this formulas to your right Hope now is clear "Tasha" wrote: well, I tried what you gave me, but am more than a little confused, let me put my columns/rows in and can you set the formula(s) up for them?

Eduardo,
I've run into a problem, when I copied over, I have the 2008 figure as 1, the 2009 figure is 4, so the variance is 3, and the growth is showing as 300%????Shouldn't it be different than that?

ok, for some reason, that wasn't making sense to me. I have one more
question, if you wouldn't mind, then I'll leave you alone :) Say, if 2008 is 0 and 2009 is 4, I'm getting a #DIV/0! error. If I put in the formula =IF(2009cell=0,0,(2009/2008)), I'm still getting the #DIV/0! error. Any ideas?
