How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |62 − 74| = 12
- Average of the values: (62 + 74) ÷ 2 = 68
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 12 ÷ 68 × 100 = 17.6471%
- Check: Work backwards: 0.176471 × 68 = 12, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(62-74)/((62+74)/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.
