Limits, edge cases, and troubleshooting
Use it for discounts, growth, marks, and proportions. Select the mode carefully because 'percent of' and 'percentage change' use different formulas.
- Inputs must be valid finite numbers.
- Division by zero is undefined; displayed rounding can hide additional decimal precision.
When to use another workflow
Use a spreadsheet for chained calculations, audit trails, scenario tables, currency rounding, and repeatable financial models.
