I’m setting up a spreadsheet to monitor weight gain or loss following recent 
illness. Can anyone tell me the syntax I need to compare decimals (Kg weight) 
to a fixed decimal (F1) and express the answer as a percentage.

This will enable me to monitor daily weight gain or loss, please? Below is a 
screenshot

The constant (original weight) is in cell F1.  I wish enter each day’s weight 
in Column B and have that weight compared to original weight and expressed as a 
+/- %. 



I am using digital bathroom scales, calibrated to kilograms (and decimals 
thereof). The scales can also be calibrated to ‘pounds / stones’. 

Since Australia decimalised, I am now able to understand most (but not ALL) 
metric measures.

Yours faithfully, Paul Collins,
