Good Day,
Can you please help me on that given formula below?
I couldn't find out to make the formula result if the percentage needed to show as negative.
If column D has a negative numbers it doesn't give correct result.
Thanks


Excel Formula:
IFERROR(IF(D2="","",((D2-C2)/C2)*IF(OR(AND(D2<0,C2),AND(D2<0,C2>0)),-1,1)),"")

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Not sure if I follow, how did you come up with the E column results, it doesn't look like there's a Percentage relation between C & D, it looks more like, if Both C & D are negative, you just want the difference between the two?
yes different between two columns as percentage

yes different between two columns as percentage

Then it wouldn't be a "percentage"?, check out my post #11 formula, it accurately shows the percentage Increase/Decrease between D and C relative to C, please let me know if you still Only want the difference if Both C & D are negative.
