How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |7 − 69| = 62
- Average of the values: (7 + 69) ÷ 2 = 38
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 62 ÷ 38 × 100 = 163.1579%
- Check: Work backwards: 1.631579 × 38 = 62, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(7-69)/((7+69)/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.
