Im just trying to get the percent change or the difference and in both cases, both columns, the math formula ends up with not giving me a solution. Im only getting "Value".
I think this is like a formatting issue with the original data I copied and pasted from a web page into this spreadsheet, but I can't figure out how to fix the formatting so that this will work.
Your helps are appreciated. Thank you.

The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.
Thanks.

Column C is text - you need to change the data into numbers (not just a case of changing the formatting!) and get rid of the manually entered percentage sign. Then format as percentage. Then it will look like this:
