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
Date | Amount |
4Q14 | 1000 |
1Q15 | 800 |
2Q15 | 600 |
3Q15 | 500 |
4Q15 | 700 |
1Q16 | 1000 |
2Q16 | 1200 |
3Q16 | 900 |
4Q16 | 800 |
Desired Output
Date | Amount | Delta | % Delta |
4Q14 | 1000 | n/a | n/a |
1Q15 | 800 | -200 | -20 |
2Q15 | 600 | -200 | -25 |
3Q15 | 500 | -100 | -17 |
4Q15 | 700 | 200 | 40 |
1Q16 | 1000 | 300 | 43 |
2Q16 | 1200 | 200 | 20 |
3Q16 | 900 | -300 | -25 |
4Q16 | 800 | -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.

Just trying a different approach.
