Finding the Average Change in Two Columns
 

Columns B and C
B:2B15 is List Price - C:2C15 is Sold Price
I want to show in another cell what the average change is between List Price
and Sold Price.

Appreciate the help, you folks have never steered me wrong.

=(SUM(B2:B15)-SUM(A2:A15))/COUNT(B2:B15)

This will work, but be warned, if you do not have values in any part of that
range (e.g. if B14 and C15 are blank), they will be considered 0 and will
compute as "0 change" for one row.

Must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

=AVERAGE(C2:C15-B2:B15)

This is good, how do I express the result in %, i.e. average change from List
Price to Sold Price is x%.

This array formula will work:

=AVERAGE(B1:B15/A1:A15-1)

Enter it with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just the ENTER key.
