JdeBP<p>A tip for spreadsheet users that I have learned from watching a mistake made by others:</p><p>When you use<br>=MAX(M2-X2/M2,0.1)<br>to place a floor of 10% on how low you want your calculation to be of a fractional positive gap to reduce M2 to X2 by, please try to remember that the X2 cell value could be *already greater* than the M2 cell value.</p><p>You probably want<br>=IF(X2&lt;M2,MAX(M2-X2/M2,0.1),0)<br>or similar.</p><p>Because if (say) M2 is 6.81E+10 and X2 is 7.99E+10, then your calculation is going to come up with 10% instead of 0%, let alone the correct -17%.</p><p>Which might be embarrassing.
