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.
Smartsheet Community - I AM STUMPED!! I am trying to do a crosssheet SUMIFS formula with 1 Column and 2 Rows of Data. I need to sum across {Weeks 1 to 104} Column to match : {Helper Column} = Baseline@row Vertical Rows {Month} needs to match Month@row, and Row {Year} needs to match Year@row I have tried SUMIFS, JOIN,…
Cant figure out why this is not working. It comes back NO MATCH. I have changed it to true and to 1. Nothing works. HELP
I’m hoping to get a second set of eyes from the community in case I’m missing something obvious or there’s a cleaner pattern I should be using. I’ve used ChatGPT to try and help me group/organize my situation coherently…. Because at this point I feel crazy… I’ve literally worked on this for hours. Environment •Smartsheet…
