How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |17 − 19| = 2
- Average of the values: (17 + 19) ÷ 2 = 18
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 2 ÷ 18 × 100 = 11.1111%
- Check: Work backwards: 0.111111 × 18 = 2, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(17-19)/((17+19)/2)*100. Dividing by one of the values instead of their average turns it into a percentage change, which depends on which value you start from.
What the result means
19 is 2 more than 17. Measured against their average, 18, that gap is 11.1111%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.
Prices: if one shop charges $17 and another $19 for the same item, the prices differ by 11.1111%.
Why the average is the base
Dividing the gap of 2 by 17 gives 11.7647%, and dividing it by 19 gives 10.5263%. The average, 18, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
