Unrealistic percentage values

I'm preparing data analysis of gross margins and want to avoid unrealistic values, eg anything over 500% positive and negative.
So far i have the following:

=-IFERROR(I37/H37,0).

can anyone please assist.

regards

Jason

RE: Unrealistic percentage values

Hi Jason

Interesting question. How about this formula in a separate cell (eg C37)

=IF(OR(I37/H37>500%,I37/H37<-500%),"0",I37/H37)

It dispays the correct gross margin unless it is greater than 500% or less than -500%.

Best to format C37 to % format.

If you want to display a blank for the extreme gross marginsv then change "0" to "" in the formula.

Does that do what want?

Excel tip:

Display Functions on Worksheets

Functions in Excel can be difficult to recall their format/syntax

For example, you want to use the =PMT function.

Enter =PMT, then select keystroke, CTRL+SHIFT+A.

This usful memory jog, will display the arguments of a function on a worksheet, allowing the user to proceed with the generation of the function
