    How do you get a difference of 2 numbers, then get a percentage of the total?

    Hi,

    I have a number in Column D (1074.77) and a number in Column F (918.00). Difference is 156.77. In Column H is where I need the 10% of 156.77. How do I get a percentage of that number along with the difference of those columns?

    thanks,

    should come out to: 15.677

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =(D1-F1)*10%

    Is that what you want?
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    Or this

    =ABS(D1-F1)/100*10

    this will work if D1 or F1 is greater
