How do you calculate a percentage change in excel if one number is negative?
To find the percentage change, you divide the change from initial to final by the absolute value of the initial value and then multiply by 100%. As an example: if the initial value is in cell A1 and the final value is in cell A2, the formula for percent change would be: =(A2-A1)/ABS(A1). You can EITHER multiply that value by 100 to get the percentage OR format the cell to display the number as a percentage. If the original number is negative and the final number is less (even more negative) - this makes the percentage change negative. If the original number is negative and the final number still negative but greater (closer to zero) then this would be an increase even though it would be less negative so the percent change would be positive. If the original number is negative and the final number zero or positive, this would still constitute an increase so the percentage change would be positive. If the initial number was positive and the final number negative, then this would be a pretty obvious decrease and the percentage change would be negative.
How do you calculate a percentage change increase or decrease?

(EBITDA2 - EBITDA1)/(EBITDA1) where EBITDA2 is EBITDA at period 2 and EBITDA1 is EBITDA at period 1. That way, you can see how much EBITDA has grown for a given company in a percentage.
