    Dynamic percentage change formula for the same cell

    Hi Guys,

    Need help with percentage change formula in Column B.

    Ideally, I would like to input 2% on B2 and 2% of 12 (A2) will be displayed in cell C2
    The catch is, I would also like to have an option to enter -2% on B2 and C2 will display -2% of 12(A2)

    I would like to display 12.24 if it is +2% or 11.76 if it is -2% in C2

    Thanks in advance.


    A B C
    12

    This will only solve the percentage increase. A2*(1-B2) is for % decrease. Can the cell diferentiate the two formula based on the input?

    A2 = 12; B2 = 2% result -> 12.24

    A2 = 12; B2 = -2% result -> 11.76
