Hi

Looking for assistance with my formula.

My formula ...

  • =BYROW(TAKE(AB3:AB23,COUNTA(AB3:AB23)),LAMBDA(row,
    LET(
    prev_value,INDEX(AB3:AB23,ROW(row)-1),
    IF(
    AND(
    ROW(row)>1,
    --(row<>"")*(row<>0),
    prev_value<>""),
    IFERROR(row/OFFSET(row,-1,0)-1,0),
    0
    )
    )))

As it is above it works BUT when I change OFFSET(row,-1,0) to prev_value I get incoreect values

I know I could leave it working but I want to understand why it wont work because essentially OFFSET(row,-1,0) is the same as prev_value.

Help me to understand, many thanks!

I couldn't really follow your approach and can't answer the question. But I understand what you are trying to achieve and suggest you simplify the formula without using BYROW, LAMBDA and OFFSET.

This one will do the job:

=LET(
prev, TAKE(H2:H23,COUNTA(H2:H23)-1),
curr, TAKE(H3:H23,COUNTA(H3:H23)),
perc, IFERROR(curr/prev-1,""),
IF(perc=-1,"",perc)
)
