Please help

I am trying to calculate data and find the increased or decreased percentage between weeks: see below
:[TABLE="width: 221"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A1[/TD]
[TD]A2[/TD]
[TD]A3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][TABLE="width: 221"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Actions on Page (this wk)[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[TD]Actions on Page (last wk)[/TD]
[TD]total action %[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[TD]0.00%[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

In A3 i currently have the following formula: =IFERROR(((U3-V3)/V3),0) - The issues im having is the answer to A3 should be 100% up from last week but "=iferror" forces it to become 0, if i don't have the "=iferror" in there it comes up with #DIV/0!

Im also wanting to put conditional formatting icons to have a green arrow if increased from the week before(A2) and red arrow if decreased from week before(A2) but not sure how?

Please help
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi, you are changing from 0 to 1 which means it as per your formula 1/0 which is infinite and not 100%. You can default it to 100% by =IFERROR(U3/V3-1,1) but you have to note that if it changes from 0 to 5 still it will be 100%.

For CF please go to Home--> Conditional Formatting--> Icon Sets and select arrows. Then go to Manage rules and change as below:
