    You have an extra IF towards the end.  Should be

     

    % Change Calculated =
IF (
    [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] = 0,
    0,
    IF (
        [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] > 0,
        ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated]
            - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] / [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] )
            * -1,
        ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated]  ##You had an extra IF here
            - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] / [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] )
    )
)

    Thanks for the quick reply Dedelman_clng! I added in some divides into the formula with your change and it worked perfectly. 

     

    % Change Calculated =
IF (
    [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] = 0,
    0,
    IF (
        [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] > 0,
       **DIVIDE** ( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated]
            - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] , [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] )
            * -1,
        **DIVIDE**( [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] - [TY Shortage Rate Calculated] , [LY Shortage Rate Calculated] )
    )
