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?

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
