I'm sure this will be terribly basic to some of you, but my maths is not great, so its stumped me.

I have two numbers, for example 45 and 75. I need to know what the caculation is to find out the % difference (margin) between two given numbers. (it must end up as a positive %)

Ultimately I need to write it as an excel formula - so referencing the two cells that contain the numbers.

Can anyone help?
