Hi,
I'm trying to calculate x based on a percentage decrease or increase.
Is there a way to account for either scenario in one formula?
My current formula works for increase % but not decrease (Spend Variance can be positive or negative percent)
=Spend *(1+'Spend Variance')
Much Appreciate any assistance.
Thank you
I don't understand why that doesn't work.
Perhaps if we could see a sample file it would help.

Thanks the file is too large to upload - The formula will work if the spend variance % is a positive. If the spend variance is negative % the formula doesn't work.
There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
