FormuladrillGrowth that does not add up
An Excel formula exercise from Formuladrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Growth should be the change compared with last year, as a share of last year. One row is calculated differently from the others. Find it and fix it.
What this exercise teaches
Dividing by this year instead of last year makes growth look smaller (28% shows as 21.88%). A row that breaks the pattern of its neighbours is worth a second look.
A hint if you get stuck
Growth is always divided by the starting point. Check what each formula divides by.
