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 need some help with the following formula: =WORKDAY(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()) + 1, 1) - 1, 0) The formula stopped working this morning, and is now showing #INVALID VALUE instead of the date (I'm expecting 12/31/2025). Can someone tell me what is wrong with the formula that it's not giving me a date?
Hello all, Running into issues with a new set of syntax I'm trying: =COUNTIF(CONTAINS("2026", {sheet being referenced column}), "True") Keep getting a return of 0, even though there are projects releasing in that referenced column. Thanks in advance!
Im looking for a formula to calculate difference between two times eg 08:00 - 10:00 should give a duration of 2 but running into errors. I have column types as text number. 08:00 is named Start Time and column for 10:00 is finish time
