Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about using this tool and automating workflows with RunMacro.

How do you calculate percentage increase or decrease?

To calculate percentage change: subtract the original value from the new value, divide the difference by the absolute original value, and multiply the result by 100. A positive value indicates an increase, while a negative value represents a decrease.

What is the formula to find X percent of Y?

The formula to calculate X% of Y is: (X / 100) * Y. For example, to find 15% of $200, divide 15 by 100 (0.15) and multiply by 200, resulting in 30.
