Function: Variance (A, B) Description: This function calculates the difference between members: ( A - B ). This function verifies whether an expense tag was added. In that case, A and B are switched. http://evsupport.applix.com/evkb/ev0044.htm (1 of 10) [2/14/2008 11:41:24 AM]
Function: Variance % (A, B) Description: This function calculates the difference between members in percentages: ( (A - B) / (abs) B ) * 100. This function verifies if an expense tag was added. If this is the case, the formula is (( B - A ) / (abs) B ) * 100 Function: Growth (A, B) Description: This function calculates the difference between members: ( A - B ). This function verifies whether an expense tag was added. In that case, A and B are switched. http://evsupport.applix.com/evkb/ev0044.htm (2 of 10) [2/14/2008 11:41:24 AM]
