Hi Rayne,<br />
<br />
Questions:<br />
&nbsp; Q1. What Change value would you like to show in the red cell? &nbsp;0%?<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Q2. Does the formula also have to be able to cater for Metric Values = 0, which would currently give a #DIV/0 error in the Change field?<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Q3. If so, what value should it put in the Change field?<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Q4. What other things would you like the formula to be able to cater for, and what Change values would you like to show in those cases?

I want to compare changes in metric value by day. I have a formula but is there a better formula – like the formula that handles the situation of the red cell – where there is no previous date. . What should I do? Please help me with rewriting this formula that a better one for this type of date by date comparison<br />
Thanks<br />
