Excel

i have a list of percentage changes to an amount of money.
Eg in 2001 my stock rose 10% in 2002 it dropped 5% etc.

it is just a list of percentages ranging back a few years now and all i have is this year current value.

How do i work out what each year was?
ie apply the percentage increase/decrease to each number

RE: excel

Hi Jourdan

If I understand correctly

1.You only have the percentages from the past years but not the money amounts

2. For this year you have the money amount

In this scenario there is no way to discover the original numbers that gave you the percentages, unless these percentages are in anyway connected to the present value.

I hope this answers your question.

If not you could send a copy of the spreadsheet (relabelling or renaming any sensitive data) with an explanation of how the data works to

forum AT stl-training.co.uk

After looking at te data I may have a better understanding of your problem and try to find a solution

Excel tip:

Turn off AutoComplete in Excel

You may have noticed when typing into your spreadsheets that if you start to enter labels that begin with the same letters as a label that has been previously entered in the same spreadsheet, Excel will try and automatically complete the text for you. This feature is called AutoComplete.

If you find this feature more annoying than useful, you can turn it off by:

1. Going to Tools - Options.

2. Select the Edit tab.

3. Remove the tick from next to the "Enable AutoComplete for cell values" option.

4. Click OK.
