How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |44 − 97| = 53
- Average of the values: (44 + 97) ÷ 2 = 70.5
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 53 ÷ 70.5 × 100 = 75.1773%
- Check: Work backwards: 0.751773 × 70.5 = 53, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(44-97)/((44+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.
