% variance
Hi All,
How can I have a formula to get % variance (+/-) without generating an error? for eg: if A1=100 and B1=150 then I shud get in C1 50% and if A1=150 and b1=100 then I shud get in C1 (33.33%) i am having this with the formula (B1/A1)-1 IN C1 Now my problem is that both A1 and C1 can be zero, either of them or both of them can be negative, one can be negative and the other positive, a1<b1, a1b1 with negative values etc. Taking all the possiblities how can I have a working formula??!!! Thanks for your help. Abdul |

It works for me without any errors. What do you want the results to be for these numbers 100 150 -100 150 100 -150 -100 -150 -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "Abdul" wrote in message ... it wont work if both having minus figures.. i think u did'nt read my complete message.. i have that, but want to know all the possibilities incorporated.. thanks -----Original Message----- Abdul =IF(A1=0,0,(B1/A1)-1) -- Dick Kusleika MVP - Excel Excel Blog - Daily Dose of Excel www.dicks-blog.com "Abdul" wrote in message ...
