How to work it out
- Gap between the values: |8 − 52| = 44
- Average of the values: (8 + 52) ÷ 2 = 30
- Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 44 ÷ 30 × 100 = 146.6667%
- Check: Work backwards: 1.466667 × 30 = 44, the gap between the values.
In a spreadsheet: =ABS(8-52)/((8+52)/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
