calc YoY % out of percentage

Hello,

Assuming I've got

Current Year rate - 8,726 %

Last Year rate - 8,391 %

How to calculate percentage change? It seems like my calculation - used ( (V2-V1)/V1 )* 100 brings inaccurate result. Maybe its a thing of formatting, maybe my approach is bad? How would you calculate that change?

Hi Amit,

8.726 - 8.391 = 0.335
8.391*1.0335  = 8.672

however 8.391 + 0.335 = 8.726

So, the raise is 0.335 (0,4) %?

Hi @Pbiuserr ,

 

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Shouldn't the percentage calculation be 8.726 / 8.391 - 1 = 0.0399?

 

Best Regards,
Winniz
