Please help

I am trying to calculate data and find the increased or decreased percentage between weeks: see below
:
A1A2A3
Actions on Page (this wk)

<tbody>
</tbody>
Actions on Page (last wk)total action %
100.00%

<tbody>
</tbody>

<tbody>
</tbody>

In A3 i currently have the following formula: =IFERROR(((U3-V3)/V3),0) - The issues im having is the answer to A3 should be 100% up from last week but "=iferror" forces it to become 0, if i don't have the "=iferror" in there it comes up with #DIV/0!

Im also wanting to put conditional formatting icons to have a green arrow if increased from the week before(A2) and red arrow if decreased from week before(A2) but not sure how?

Please help
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Hi, you are changing from 0 to 1 which means it as per your formula 1/0 which is infinite and not 100%. You can default it to 100% by =IFERROR(U3/V3-1,1) but you have to note that if it changes from 0 to 5 still it will be 100%.

For CF please go to Home--> Conditional Formatting--> Icon Sets and select arrows. Then go to Manage rules and change as below:
