Hello, I am a newbie here so hopefully this is suitable for this forum.

I am currently trying to find the inflation adjusted returns for a particular energy index just over a 5 year period.
I collected the CPI data for the FRED and collected and calculated the returns for the index from Bloomberg data.

I am unsure what formulas I should be using to 1. find the correct CPI and 2. how to adjust the returns for the index with inflation. Below is the following of how I have attempted some steps.
I could very well be completely off on my formulas but this is all I could find on the internet.

Any help would be amazing.
