I am struggling to solve the arithmetic and write an excel formula that can calculate the percentage of goal. The goal can be either positive or negative and the actual result can be positive or negative.

Example

-3 / -2 = -100%

-2 / -2 = 100%

- 1 / -2 = 200%

0 / - 2 = 300%

1 / - 2 = 400%

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
How to get those percentages? Do we need to figure it out ourselves? I can't figure it out.
