I have 2 fields where I'm trying to show not only a difference but also a
percentage, whether < or >.

Any help?

NM,

Assume you have data in cells A1 and B1. To find the percentage difference
between the two numbers, using B1 as the base the formula is:

( A1 - B1 ) / ABS (B1)

ABS is Excel's absolute value function.
