Percentage Formula
This is what I have
In cell D - 484 In Cell E - 526 Now in Cell E I want to display the percentage of increase (or decrease) The formula I currenty am using is (D1-E1)/D1 With this I get -9% This can't be correct...becuase it is an increase. What am I doing wrong? Lisa

What am I doing wrong? Lisa Hi, Lisa, I think you have to change the positions like (E1-D1)/(D1*100) -- 8.67...percents increase

Percentage Formula
I think you have the 100 in the wrong place
Also, in Excel, we generally miss out the 100 and format the cell to display % best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP people.stfx.ca/bliengme email address: remove uppercase characters "stegofix" wrote in message ...
