How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |23 − 62| = 39
  2. Average of the values: (23 + 62) ÷ 2 = 42.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 39 ÷ 42.5 × 100 = 91.7647%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.917647 × 42.5 = 39, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(23-62)/((23+62)/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

62 is 39 more than 23. Measured against their average, 42.5, that gap is 91.7647%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $23 and another $62 for the same item, the prices differ by 91.7647%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 39 by 23 gives 169.5652%, and dividing it by 62 gives 62.9032%. The average, 42.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
