    grouping formulas

    I need to do the following formula, but it isn't working for me

    (n1-n2)/n2*100

    what is happening, is n1-n2 then it is dividing by the product of n2*100

    I need it to do n1-n2, then divide by n2, then multiply by 100

    like this?

    =((N1-N2)/N2)*100
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1

    Re: grouping formulas

    Works for me. With 1 and 2 in N1 and N2 respectively, I get -50
