    Show Number as a percentage

    Hi Folks

    Novice here learning as I go along and would apreciate any help and assistance

    I need to show an actual cost versus a budget cost in a 2013 excel spreadsheet as a percentage difference

    £12,167 - Actual Cost
    £16,000 - Budget Cost

    I need to show the difference between the budget cost and theactual cost as a percentage

    Would anyone be able to advise me the formula to use in the calculating cell?

    Re: Show Number as a percentage

    £12,167 - Actual Cost
    £16,000 - Budget Cost

    =Actual Cost / Budget Cost - 76%
    shows what % of the budget you are at


    if you want to see the difference

    (Budget Cost - Actual Cost ) / Budget Cost = 24%

    =(A1-A2)/A2

    =(Actual - Budget) / Budget

    -24%
