}
return (part / whole) * 100;
}
// Percentage change calculation
function calculatePercentageChange(oldValue, newValue) {
if (oldValue === 0) {
throw new Error('Division by zero: old value cannot be zero');
}
return ((newValue - oldValue) / oldValue) * 100;
}
// Weighted percentage calculation
function calculateWeightedPercentage(values, weights) {
const totalWeight = weights.reduce((sum, weight) => sum + weight, 0);
const weightedSum = values.reduce((sum, value, index) => sum + (value * weights[index]), 0);
return (weightedSum / totalWeight) * 100;
}
Excel/Spreadsheet Formulas
// Basic percentage
=(A1/B1)*100
// Percentage change
