Hi there,


So I have a Table were I am tracking Costs in one field and in another field I have Financial Years.


Financial Year

19/20

Costs

$100


Financial Year

20/21

Costs

$200


What I would like to be able to do create another field where I calculate the growth from 19/20 to 20/21:


Cost Growth

100%


I’m really not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks in advance.
