I am trying to figure out the % variance between 2 numbers ($40,190,187 and $40,279,091) I just need the formula can anyone help?
Assuming you want the
subtract X from Y to get an absolute value "V"
get the MAX of "X" and "Y" [to get the greater of the two]
"V"/(MAX of "X" & "Y") [format this column as percentage ---- don't forget to increase your decimal place accuracy]
=ABS([Column2]21 - [Column3]21) / MAX([Column2]21:[Column3]21)
Ezra,
I did the calculation, but I get the value 1 instead of 100%, how can I increase the decimal place to show 100 in the formula?
Thanks for the help?
Just change the column or cell to a percentage format (next to currency format in the top toolbar)
.25 = 25%
.5 = 50%
1 = 100%
Worked Thanks
This is great; however, what if you needed to show the percentage of increase OR decrease?
we have the same question at Melody...
To see if it is an increase or decrease remove the abs( ) part of the equation. It is what makes everything positive.
=[Column2]21 - [Column3]21) / MAX([Column2]21:[Column3]21
This will allow the positive and negative values to show.

I'm trying to make a helper column to identify if a new/unique project code has been entered in a column so that I know when a new project has been created. I've been trying to set up this formula and plan to then set up an automation to be notified when "New Project Code" has been entered into a cell. It seems to be ok on…
Looking for a way to easily log and reference multiple data points for the same type of data (ex: successful phone contacts) that all show for one entry (by member name). Want this to be both easy to enter the information (ideally by interacting with the same row via Dynamic View), and easy to see data on the back end of…
