    Question Calculating percentage change of a cell that updates on refresh

    I understand you can calculate percentage change by using, for example, =(A1/A2)-1 where A1 is the first months income and A2 is the second months income -

    On my spreadsheet however I have a cell that takes data from an online currency site which I manually refresh. Is there any way I can have a cell that will calculate the percentage change upon refresh? For example if the cell was $60 and then updated to $95 when refreshed, another cell would be populated with 58.33%?

    If your sheet takes data from the online currency site using VBA then just modify the VBA to produce a history (even if it's just old value and new value) of the previous values which will allow you to calculate the percentage change.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    It doesn't unfortunately, I'm importing the data using the Web Query / Data ->From Web function to another sheet and then importing the relevant cell from that sheet
