Pivot Table where I am comparing prices with previous quarters using the % Difference from and using Quarter/previous as the base.
The function works fine but I can't get any values on Q1 to compare with Q4 of the previous years. All Q1 for every years show no % difference.
Can use an icon set conditional format to solve the following -
if I have an order figure in A1 and a received figure in A2 I want to show a tick in A3 if the received figure is within 10% either side of the order figure.
I am trying to create a formula that can work out the % difference between two values. The formula I am using is:
=(B1-A1)/ABS(A1)
So, where
A1=1, B1=2, = 100%
A1=-1, B1=2, = 300%
This seems to work perfectly, apart from where there are zero numbers involved. The answers I want to have are as follows:
A1=0, B1=0, = 0%
A1=0, B1=-1, = -100%
A1=0, B1=1, = 100%
A1=-1, B1=0, = 100%
A1=1, B1=0, = -100%
How do i work out the percentage difference between two colums and show the results in a third? I then need to know the average of that third colum
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was wonder if there is anyway in excel to do the following. I have a table that shows %'s,,, and I have formatted it to show 1 decimal place. Is there anyway to do it so that if the % is a whole number, IE 100% it shows just 100% and not 100.0%
So; basically, all %'s that aren't whole numbers will show 1 decimal place,, whole numbers to show NO decimal place.
I can see in excel a custom formatting under the Number tab,, but if this is where you do /can do it,, I'm not sure how.
Formula "(Cell-Cell)/ABS(Cell)"
When calculating percentage difference do I always subtract the smaller number/cell from the larger number/cell, then divide by the smaller number/cell or vice versa? Maybe I am over thinking it, but it is confusing the heck out of me
I provided an example below to illustrate a spreadsheet I work on. The numbers go up and down. I want to know how I should go about setting up the formula. If I need to ensure the smaller number is always subtracted from the bigger number, it will require a lot of manual intervention on my part.
Row 3 is =(b2-b1)/ABS(b1)Row 4 is =(b2-b1)/ABS(b2)Row 5 is custom. I went through each cell and made sure the smaller number was being subtracted from the larger number, then divided by the smaller number

I have a spreadsheet which has a number of columns populated with a day number and below each day number there are some numbers. What I would like to do is to compare the values for Day1 with Day2, Day 2 with Day 3 etc. Is there a smart way to do this using VBA? I am enclosing an example to show what I would like the macro to do.

I would like to have a popup that shows up whenever a stock price has a 15% or higher return. I would like the popup to show the stock name.

Using conditional formatting i am trying to write a formula that changes colour on the percentage difference of another cell.
An example would be if cell A1 contained a target of 5% in cell A2 would be an actual. If cell A2 is equal to A1 or better then it would be green. If cell A2 was within 10% less of A1 (i.e 4.5%-4.99%) then amber and red for the target minus 10% (i.e <4.49%)
I want to do this as a conditional formatting formula as the target figure will change but 10% difference will remain the same.
In looking for examples of business budgets I found a sample spreadsheet that used these two conditional statements:
A) to calculate the difference between the Budget and Actual numbers: =IF(OR(B10,A1), B1-A1,) where B1 is Actual $ and A1 is the budget $.
B) to calculate the percentage (+ or -) =IF(A1,C1/A1,) where A1 is, again the budget, and C1 is the result of the difference calculated in A) above.
What is the advantage of these conditional formulas over the more straight forward B1-A1 and C1/A1

View 4 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010 - Solver will NOT work with whole numbers and that is what I need (only whole numbers, i.e whole vials being used). So this is a drug/inventory problem. The drug is dosed as 25, 35,or 50 units/kg. Also a Max dose is reached with 100 kg. (this I can do). The trick is we want to use whole vial sizes and the vials come with varying amount of drug per vial (480-620 units/vial). We can enter our existing Inventory to get the exact units/vial and number of vials on hand. Now I need to figure out the best combination of vials in Inventory to use to get the closest to the dose needed. If Max dose is reached then the MOST we can go over the max dose is 5%. I'd like to see the percentage difference from the calculated or Max dose.

I have a Pivot Table with fields for months and weeks. I also have a "Show Values as % Difference Field" that shows monthly or weekly % change. When I collapse the fields so that it goes from weekly to monthly (or vice versa), I have to manually change each Show Values As % Difference column. Is there a way to do this automatically or quickly?

I believe there is a way to summarize monthly data with the month in rows and the heading across columns. The goal is to have a formula summarize the data with Q1 through Q4 in rows and headings across columns and vice versa. Sample data attached.

In Column A, I have the dates listed as such. Common point is that, they are all 1st day of the month.
In Column B, I have Quarters as such.... (Please see below)
Can I put a formula together, to round up how many months left in that particular quarter ? example

My list has dates. I am using this formula to determine the quarter for the date: ="Q"&INT((MONTH(S2)/4)+1).
As well I am using a formula to determine the month for the date: =E2-DAY(E2)+1.
In my book I have some sheets showing totals by month, in other I total up by quarter. I am experiencing a variance between the quarterly total by months and the quarterly total by quarter.
So I thought I'd try this formula to reconcile the two--but no success: =SUMPRODUCT((System=$B5)*(Created>=Lists!M$2)*(Created
I need to calculate the number of quarters difference between two quarter and year values. So I have The following:
Begin Quarter
Begin Year
End Quarter
End Year
3
2005
2
2011
4
2008
2
2013
So I need calculate how many quarters have passed since the begin quarter and the end quarter.
I need a formula that can automatically populate yearly quarters in separate columns based on a number of years. So if I put in 5 years - excel would populate 20 columns with Quarter 1 - Quarter 2 and so on. If I then change it to 3 years it would only populate 12 columns.

See attachment on what it should look like. C2 is my calculated column.
I have the formula where i can change a date to its equivalent in terms of quarters system with a date:
=CHOOSE(MATCH(MONTH(A2),{1,4,7,10}),"Winter","Spring","Summer","Fall")&YEAR(A2)
This is a school year configuration.
ex.
A2 = 10/1/2005: with the formula up there it turns into Fall 2005
i want to be able to add any number of years and the formula will still come up with the quarters system
also i would like A2 to be stationary and create a list of quarters for each year i add on
ex.
A2= 10/1/2005 B2=Fall 2005
B3=Winter 2006
B3=Spring 2006
B5=Summer 2006
B6=Fall 2006
etc.
If this is all possible lastly I would like to negate summer quarters
One cool feature of 2010 is ability to (right click on dates) and Group them into Quarters.
How to change the Quarters to be in line with e.g. Financial Year, as opposed to fiscal years? i.e. have a start date of say June?
I have a workbook that I've built for a project. I've attached a sample workbook. What I'm trying to do, for the entire sheet or workbook if possible, is turn any Cell with a percentage of 30% to 49% yellow and any cell with a percentage of 50% or more Red. I would also like to move the ID's of the variable cells, for example Id number 9922, to the cells beside the description of the rows, Affected would be an example, if the information contained in the same row as the ID meets with a set of variables.
For example I only want the ID's moved if they correspond with IDsub 1-25. One more thing, the people who will be using this spreadsheet will be copying data from a website when it is imported it does not insert the values as numbers. I would like to format the cells, in example workbook they would be any of the cells labeled ID IDsub Variable or Number, so that anything put in that cell will automatically be converted to a number.
I should also probably add that the formatting will be done on approximately 80 rows a sheet with 47 sheets.

There are 295 people in a room, of the 295, 75 or 25% are mothers. (I know how to calculate 25% - 75/295 = 25.42) of the 75 mothers 35 have 3 children, 32 have 2 children and 10 have 1 child.
35 is what percent of 25%
32 is what percent of 25%
10 is what percent of 25%

The formula is B2-A2 and the Difference field is a custom field using h:m:s.
As you can see, the difference is correct, except in military time. The correct answer should be 5:41:33.
