precentage formula
Why have you used ABS?
Surely one needs to know if the change is an increase or a decrease? best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "John C" <johnc@stateofdenial wrote in message ...

precentage formula
Asked for the percent difference. If someone says, give me the percentage
difference from 8 to 10, I'll say 25%. Conversely, if someone says give me the percentage difference from 10 to 8, I'll say 20%, not negative 20%. Just my 2 cents. -- John C "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Why have you used ABS?
