    Formulae to calculate percentage spent from budget

    Hello Team,

    I am a bit baffled by the formulae I am using to calculate %age spent. I am getting the same %age for actual spending against no budget and also where there is no spending against a set budget? My formulae wrong? See attached excel spreadsheet depicting my cry!


    Many thanks for the correction.

    Re: Formulae to calculate percentage spent from budget

    Because you have no budget in B5, the result of C5/B5 is a #DIV/0 error. Your formula is wrapped in an IFERROR check which tells Excel to give a value of 0 if there is an error, so that's why you get the same result (0) in E5 and E6. Try this instead (in E3, dragged down):

    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
