% as Negative

Tony Barthelemy

How do you structure your formula calculate negative if it is over 100%

For example, I am at 144% which is over budget

Current Formula =AC1 / [Project Budget]1

Results 144%, I would like it to calculate -44% once I am over budget.

Hi Kam,

=IFERROR(IF(AC1 / [Project Budget]1 >1, 1 - AC1 / [Project Budget]1, AC1 / [Project Budget]1),"")

This should do what you're looking for. I threw an IFERROR in there so you didn't get an error result if the values were blank.

Kind regards,
