Default correct formula

(cell1)1254-(cell2)987=267 cell2)267/(cell1)1254= answer
I am looking for one formula to pick up this answer please help.
so 1254 minus 987 equals 267, 267 divide by 1254 = answer %

This is all revenue and budget based 987 is the actual 1254 is the budget
and i am trying to add two colums for growth vs budget and growth vs prior
year.

Default correct formula

Assuming A1=1254 and B1=267
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(A1),ISNUMBER(B1)),(A1-B1)/A1,"")
