Hi,

I'm very new to sense, I have a question about working out percentage differences.

If i have a list of numbers, how can i work out the percentage difference between two numbers?

I have tried to simply put a variable into the equation, for example:

variable / 100 x 40 but the result is 0.0

if anyone can point me in the right direction, if appreciate it

This?

set [percentagedifference v] to ( ( (variable2) - (variable1) ) / (variable1) )

I think i need this:

Set percentageDifference to A - B / B x 100

I have tried this, but the number it throws out is the same number

(btw A is from an item in a list, can you use list items in equations?

ahh i am very confused with this
