How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |56 − 62| = 6
- Average of the values: (56 + 62) ÷ 2 = 59
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 6 ÷ 59 × 100 = 10.1695%
- Check: Work backwards: 0.101695 × 59 = 6, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(56-62)/((56+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
