Hi Excel gurus,

Can you please help with this? I know there is something wrong with these formulas...
In the yellow cell, I have used this formula. (see below) I know I should be writing "No change" somewhere in the formula but is the IF formula the most appropriate one to use?

Yellow cell (P7)
=IF(O7>0,"Increase","Decrease")

How do I make this +100%
Green cell (Q9)
=O9/N9

I have a blanks within my data set (for example: Row 12). How should I incorporate it so that if there is a blank row, it with return a "blank" cell in P and Q?

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
How about
Excel Formula:
=IF(O7=0,"No change",IF(O7>0,"Increase","Decrease"))

For the 2nd part try
Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(N2=0,O2<>0),1,IF(AND(N2="",O2=""),"",O2/N2))

How about
Excel Formula:
=IF(O7=0,"No change",IF(O7>0,"Increase","Decrease"))
ooh thank you @Fluff!
would you know how to integrate the formula so that I can drag both formulas down (including row 12)? at the moment in the row 12 shows "Increase" (P12) and "100%" (Q12)

If it shows "Increase" in P12 then O12 is not blank.
