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

Regards

Carlos

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
