Finding the percentage difference of two or more numbers

[slr]

I need to find the difference of 2 or more numbers and then show the
percentage "+ or -" in a separate cell.

For example, if wanted to see the growth or decrease of a club
attendance for 3 yrs.

Year 1 = 345
Year 2 = 514
Year 3 = 231

If your data is in Cells A1:A3, then
B2: =(A2-A1)/A1
Format that cell as Percent

Then, copy B2 down as far as needed.

Does that help?

If you want to show just that attendance has either increased or
decreased by a + or -, use this:

(If your data is in Cells A1:A3, then
B2: =IF(A2>A1,"+",IF(A2<A1,"-","No Change"))

Column A Column B Column C
A1 = 345 B1=514 C1 = 231

I want to know the percentage of difference between all 3 and place the
result the percentage (growth or decline %) in Column D1
