Subtracting from same column and show difference and percentage change in new columns

Hi everyone,

 

Please may I ask hopefully a simple question; I have the below input data which I am trying to find the change per quarter by subtracting a row below from the row above for each row, and also the percentage change in two new columns. I would like to have the data presented in exactly the below format. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated - many thanks in advance!

 

Input

DateAmount 
4Q141000
1Q15800
2Q15600
3Q15500
4Q15700
1Q161000
2Q161200
3Q16900
4Q16800

 

 

Desired Output

DateAmount Delta % Delta 
4Q141000n/an/a
1Q15800-200-20
2Q15600-200-25
3Q15500-100-17
4Q1570020040
1Q16100030043
2Q16120020020
3Q16900-300-25
4Q16800-100-11

@limats have a look at the attached sample workflow I built for you.

The Multi Row Formula tool really helps here when you are referring to the "row above" or "Row-1" and applying a calculation on your "Active Row".

 

Have a look and let me know what you think.
