Percent Change - Different Formula Results
Nov 21, 2012
In Excel, what is the reason for different results using the two formulas below?
Example:
Cell L6: 1413.5
Cell M6: 1312
Using the formulas below, the format of the cell is Percentage, one decimal place but I get different results
Formula 1: =-(1-L6/M6) The result is 7.7% change
Formula 2: =SUM(L6-M6)/L6 The result is 7.2% change
What is the difference in the formulas?

I need to figure out a formula for cell F17 that will calculate a percentage change only for the months that have data in 2009. The way it is set up right now I have to go in every month and change the cell reference of the formula to include the latest data. Since the 2008 data is totally populated the formula gets messed up if I include the months of 2009 that have not yet occurred.

I have a percent 3.14%, that I want to show 15, 20 and 25% above and below that percent. I am showing below the results and then formula. The top calculation results in the same on both the left and right. However the -15,-20, -25% results are different. Which is correct.
3.14%
20% +/-
3.14%
0.63%
or
6.28%
1.57%
2.51%
[code].....
basic math, but I don't understand why the results are different.

I have been able to format single cells to display negative percents (Budget to Actual hours), but I cannot copy the formatting to cells with positive percents without eliminating the format style I want. [I need to display, with the parenthesis, (13.6%)for negative results, but say, 18.6% for positive results.] When I copy the correctly formatted cell (13.6%) to another cell with a positive result, it sets the display to general formating.
As I have over 25 rows of data to compare against 62 projects and 12 programs, with each value potentially changing from one analysis to the other, I am looking for a method to automatically change the "look" of the results. I have looked at conditional formatting, but have had no indication this will do what I am looking for.

I have a range that has formulas that are based on other fcells outside the range.
What I want to do is, if the cell has a value to remove the formula and paste the results. If the filed is blank (no results from the formula) to leave the formula in place.
There could be a marco to run when this process is needed.
example attached

I want to calculate percentage changes, but sometimes my values are negative. Using the traditional (latest-first)/first I'm getting incorrect percentages because of the negative values. How can I write one formula that corrects for this?

I want to make a calculation in a pivot table where a percent difference is calculated by year.
The % difference from calculation does not show an increase from the previous year as 100% but a DIV/0 error. Can i make a custom formula that will use the year base field.

I need a formula to show percent value in a certain way in cell D1
formula is
C1 = B1-A1
but I am stuck to get the percent syntax in formula bar right.
D1 = PERCENT OF B1-A1
Example1
A1 B1 C1 D1
52.5-2.50-50 % ( RED/NEGATIVE PERCENT)
Example2
A1 B1 C1 D1
2.552.5050% ( BLACK/POSITIVE PERCENT)
Example3
1037.00-70% ( RED/NEGATIVE PERCENT)
3107.00 70% ( BLACK/POSITIVE PERCENT)
Somehow I seem to think I need to use the Value of C1
( which is required btw) to get a percent in D1, but not sure how it
would go in one complete formula in D1

1. In neighborhoods that have zero units in a given price range I have it to display "-" , because this unit is not actually zero, the data is not available. Therefore a #VALUE! is displayed for the percent because it cannot calculate the "-". How do I get excel to glance over "-" and flag it for no calculation?
2. For the percentages I am having to manually do them row by row. I would like to set it up in a manner that allows me to copy the formula down by column and across by row correctly.
For instance in the percent for Mira Lagos I have =B4/N3 where b4 is the units for mira lagos and n3 is the total. I can drag that formula across by rowto get all the correct percentages for mira lagos price ranges only, but I cannot copy this formula down by column to any of the other neighborhoods. In otherwords I have to do a new formula for each subdivision.
e.g.
Grand Peninsula=B5/N3
Meadow Glen(Mansfield)=B6/N3
...etc
Again I would like to make it so I can copy the formula across by row and down by column so excel will automatically compute it.

I need to be able to get a true/false from a tolerance percent.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do
cell a2 is Nitrogen
cell b2 is (Known gas%) 2.4800%
cell c2 is (unknown gas%) 2.4963%
cell d2 is =b2-c2 and I get the answer no trouble there. what I need is to take the answer in cell d2 and set a plus/minus 2% tolerance in cell f2 and get a true/false comparison.

See attachment. In this example, in Column D I want to calculate the percent difference between the numbers in the last 2 columns (Column B and Column C). BUT I want a formula that will automatically update if I were to insert a new column between Column C and Column D. So as a result, new numbers would go in Column D and the percent difference would now be in Column E.

I am trying to create formula that will show overtime worked in a given day. The code I am using is a simple one ([ cell - 8], for hours worked). The problem is when the time cells are blank/not used it shows a -8 in the cell. what I need to do to create a code that will eliminate the -8 from showing. The cell its self is taking the result from another cell with a formula and then subtracting 8 from the result of the formula in the other cell.

I have a sheet that uses V lookups to return names, there are 10 diff names throughout the sheet it could return
I want to change the background colour of the cell depending on what the name is. the v lookup is run in collums A - L and 100 rows down
How can I code it so each name has its own background colour so the Cell changes according what the V look up returns?

=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY("1 Jan " &$C$1),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
where C1 = the year 2006. B1 has the month Jan and I want to input that into my formula, so when I change the month, it automatically will change my formula. I tried =CHOOSE(WEEKDAY("1 $B$1 " &$C$1),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
B1 = Jan
C1 = 2006

I am trying to use a combination of Concatenate and IF formula to produce an email.
My input.
D4: First Name:
D5: Middle Name:
D6: Last Name:
D8: Organization:
Once all these are filled, I want the formula to produce a result like
FirstName.M.LastName@Organization.com
I have used the following formula.
[Code] .....
Problem is if there is a middle name the formula works fine, but in case where there is no middle name, it produces the following result.
FirstName..LastName@Organization.com
How do I remove the additional (.) in cases where there is no middle name.

[Excel 2003] I have 2 spreadsheets: one to summarize data from a 2nd detail spreadsheet. I'm analyzing work order information for a service operation.
I'm using dynamic name ranges, as follows, for the detail:
WO_Num =OFFSET('WO Tracking Log'!$A6,0,0,COUNT('WO Tracking Log'!$A:$A),1)
Other detail data is defined as these examples show:
GM_X =OFFSET(WO_Num,0,8)
OpenDate =OFFSET(WO_Num,0,1)
All detail data begins in Row 6 in the detail spreadsheet.
In the Summary spreadsheet, it appears to make a difference where my calcs are located in order for my COUNTIF's to work correctly. As long as I keep my summary calc (to total the number of work orders in the detail) in Row 2 of the Summary, it works fine...but if EITHER I move my calc down a row OR if my detail drops down a row because a row was added above (where I have just header info), my summary totals change?!?! I don't understand.
Here are two examples of the calcs I'm using in the summary:
=COUNTIF(WO_Num,">0")
=COUNTIF(GM_X,"X")
Can someone tell me what is going on? What I'm doing wrong?

To get cell to display results of formula I must edit (F2) and hit enter. Is there an easy way to do this in bulk rather than editing and hitting enter on hundreds of cells?
Example of formula:
=IF(COUNTBLANK(K2)=1,"",CONCATENATE("*** ",K1,": ",K2," "))

I have two cells. The first cell has the formula:
=CONCATENATE("D",TEXT(MATCH($B$6,'Zip Ranges'!$D$1:$D$157,0)+1,"0"))
which results in a col and row number (such as D65).
The second cell has the following formula:
=INDEX('Zip Ranges'!$A:$B,MATCH($B$6,'Zip Ranges'!D1:$D$157,0),2)
^^
I wish to replace the 'D1" in the Match function with the results of the first cell's formula.
I assume Indirect would work, but I don't know how to code the formula to use it.

how to mimic SELECT TOP 90 PERCENT from Access in Excel?
I can't use the percentile function because it interpolates the value if you don't have the right multiple of values in your array.

I have a spreadsheet that determines what percent increase over a previous quarter. The values can be negative or positive; however, I have one entry that I'm trying to divide zero by a number which results in the #DIV/0! error message. I rather have it say -1000% since that is the value I'm looking for. I now how to deal with a simple division by using an IF statement such as IF(B1,A1/B1,0), but this one is throwing me a curve.
The attached spread sheet is a quarterly percent increase over the last one. In the example, N00377 represents a machine in cell D14 and D17, where cell D17 is the last quarter, and I'm comparing it to cell D14 which should show an increase or decrease in cell F.

I have a set of data that is meant to distribute a certain number of items to different groups.
I have 10 groups, some will get more than others depending on previous usage. The problem is that I need the percentages to be in whole numbers and the total percentage needs to be 100%. I tried rounding but it doesn't work. Here is an example from one item's line.
Group#,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Dist %,.1,0,.04,0,0,0,0,0,.87,0
These are rounded and it comes out to be 101%.

I want to find the percent of increase over last year. If last year was 100 and this year is 500 then the percent would be 500%. However things get tricky if last year was -100 and this year is 500 or if last year was 100 and this year is -500 then it get's screwy and I'm not sure what formula to use to handle any situation.

what was the anser to a simple question earlier has now got me thinking...
I have one mega formula (see below) that based on a set of criteria returns a result from a range in an accompanying workbook:
=INDEX('input plus'!D940:D979,MATCH(1,('input plus'!$DJ$940:$DJ$979>=2)*('input plus'!$DG$940:$DG$979=1),0))
(the range 940:979 is a filled with investment funds data all within a particular sector, this formula for example will return the name of the number 1 rated fund, ie "mega star cash")
However, the above assumes that the ranges specified wont change, but they do, frequently and there are over 300 of them, so I earlier got help to create the following formula which can tell me what range a certain set of data lies within:
=CONCATENATE(ADDRESS(MATCH($A$3,'input plus'!$C$1:$C$3000,0)+0,4,4,1),":",ADDRESS(MATCH($A$3,'input plus'!$C$1:$C$3000,1)+0,4,4,1))
(so I tell this formula to look at a specified sector name 'cash funds' and by tweaking the number in bold it will return the range of data that i want to feed into the first formula, ie it will return D940:D979, DJ940:DJ979 and DG940:DG979)
If the data ranges change then these cells will dynamicaly update, either the range will shrink or grow - which is perfect - what i want to know is if i can integrate this into the first formula, so if you like it becomes completely dynamic.

I want to drag a formula however i want one of the values of the formula to change and the other not to change. for example:
c1=a1+b1
c2=a1+b2
c3= a1+b3

how can i make it do this when i drag? a1 is not just a constant and it depends on other parameters.

Basically the situation I have is Sheet2 has many references to cells in Sheet1. Sheet2 is for all intents and purposes a kind of nicely formatted report form, and Sheet1 is the input form.
My ultimate goal is to automatically resize row heights on Sheet2 when cell contents change on Sheet2.
Using a worksheet_change event isn't working I presume because it doesn't see the formula output change as a worksheet change, the worksheet_change is firing only when the input is changed in Sheet1.
how can I capture these formula output changes on Sheet2 (triggered from input on Sheet1) OR is there a way of making a particular sheets rows always adjust in height to best fit?
