How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |28 − 97| = 69
- Average of the values: (28 + 97) ÷ 2 = 62.5
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 69 ÷ 62.5 × 100 = 110.4%
- Check: Work backwards: 1.104 × 62.5 = 69, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(28-97)/((28+97)/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
97 is 69 more than 28. Measured against their average, 62.5, that gap is 110.4%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.
