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?

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.
Well that is neither blank nor does it contain a space, it will return a number.
Also it does not help when you keep changing the column references.
Based on the images in post#6 if that formula is in D12 then it does not return 0 but a positive number.
