difference in percentange

[Caribbrz]

This is probably a very easy question....

I have the following

cell D cell E
484 526

In cell F I want to show the difference in a percentage. I currently have
the following format
(D1-E10/D1 but it gives me a -9%....when it is actaully an
increase....what am I doing wrong?

Then you want:
=(E1-D1)/D1
