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.
Is there a trick to creating a column of unique values for each row that will not change after it is created? I cannot use Auto-ID because the row then gets copied to another sheet that utilizes Auto-ID and Smartsheet limits that. I'm stuck and ChatGPT keeps making recommendations that don't work.
I have a sheet that has all of our orders on it. I have other sheets "Gantt" for each machine. I want each machine sheet to auto populate every order that is assigned to it, when an order gets assigned to the machine. I don't want to set an automation to copy the row from the orders sheet to the machine sheet because I…
Hi Community Facing a problem many others have posted about, but haven't seen a solution yet and wondered if it had been solved. I want to be able to add a row on a resource sheet for each project resource once a project has been set to 'X' on a Projects sheet. I have tried through automations but the daisy-chain limit…
