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
