I am trying to calculate the difference month on month of sales figures
whether up or down any ideas how I can do it with excell
 
Steve --

Do you mean comparing Oct 08 to Oct 07?

A B C
1 Oct 07 Oct 08 % diff
2 $10000 $11000 =(B2-A2)/A2

formatting column C as % would show the difference as a percentage of the
2007 month.

Calculating the difference between two numbers is called subtraction. You do
it with this kind of formula in Excel:

=a2-a1
