You are almost the

=(E11-E10)/E10

The excel formula is an exact match for your algebraic equation.

Copy its syntax where ever you need it,

The same way you did it manually. Use:

=(e11-e10)/e10

For the whole sheet grab the fill handle (the little black box on the bottom
left of the highlighted cell), and drag down as far as you want. Excel will
adjust the cell references as it goes along.
