Hi All,
I have the below table from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (Bureau of Labor Statistics Data) showing the pricing index for a given month.
To calculate the increase from one month to another (same or different year) I am using this table with the change being calculated using
As of now I am changing the months manually as well as finding the corresponding value for the month for this calculation.
How can I get it to work
1. more automatically, i.e., I select the corresponding months and XL will populate the corresponding values in the last column
2. be dynamic, as every month new data gets published (I have the above table linked to the web source, so once a month I refresh the data for this table)
Any help is highly appreciated

Excel Formula:
=ROUND(((D8-D7)/D7)*100,1)
Date | Value | |
Initial Index Value | May-20 | 179.9 (this is D7 in above formula) |
Current Index Value | Mar-22 | 281.396 (this is D8 in above formula) |
% Change | 56.4 |
