Default Percentage Increase/Decrease


Hello! I often appear better than most people at Excel but coming here
shows I'm not! I've been searching through pages and pages for a
formula to calucate percentages but can't find anything quite right.

Column D is an account balance with a new row for each day.
Column E is the percentage difference.

Is it possible to calculate this?

I tried *=1-(D5/D4)* which gave me the correct figure, except positive
when the difference was a reduction so should have been -XX%, not XX%.
However this figure thn gave the wrong figures when it was an
increase.

Any help you can give is hugely appreciated. I often need help lately
with odds bits and would be interested in any fee-based support
available.

Thank you for your help.

Ian
