I have a column of numbers showing gallons of paint, (column 1) they are 6 (white paint), 8 (blue paint), 9 (green paint), 11 (purple paint) this is what is needed to mix and obtain a certain cover.
The paint supplier gives me varying quantities of each of those colors. It is not the same amount or color each time.
Sometimes I have 6 gallons of white paint. Sometimes I have 15. I needed to know what the pr increase of the other gallons. Based on the amount I have. So tomorrow if I have 20 gallons or clue paint I need to know the proportional increase of the other colors. But I never know which color or quantity will change.
I have my standard numbers in column 1 They remain constant.
I want to be able to enter the changed value any one of one of those numbers by a inserting the change into column 2. So, instead of the value of 8 in column 1, I would enter 10 by entering 10 in the adjacent cell in column two.
I know how to calculate the percentage difference. The difference is 20% So now column 1 is 8, column 2 is 10, and column 3 is 10 because that is the number I input into column 2.
If I enter 10 in the second column the difference is an increase of 20% over the original number. I want the output of that increase to show up in the 3rd column as 10, because that is the amount I want to increase it. But I also want 6, 9, 11 to recalculate based on the percentage increase between 8 and 10 show up in the 3rd column So, I want 6, 9 and 11 to increase by 20% in column 3.
Up to this point I know how to do this. But the thing I am grappling with is I want to be able to enter the new amount in any one of the cells in column 2 and then have all of the values in column 3 to increase by the same percentage difference as the difference between the base number in column 1 (the static number) and number I input into column 2.
In the example above then all 4 numbers in column 3 would be a 20% increase in each of the numbers but the only number I entered manually was 10.
I want all of the numbers to increase 20% in this example. But Sometimes I want to change 11 for 100% increase and I want all of the other cells to increase by that same percentage. Now column 1 would have 11, column 2 would have 22 and column 3 would have 22. I want 6, 8, 9 to also increase by 100% and show up in column 3.
So, I want to be able to manually input the new number then have them all increase by the percentage of the difference and show up in column 3.
I am stumped how to do this. Thank you in advance
