Excel Misc >> Net profit =A2-A1 would give a profit of 0.83. But if that is a gross profit you may
wish to provide additional information on the deductions required to derive
a net profit.

Excel Misc >> Net profit Hi

=(A2-A1)/A2*100
would give the profit as a percentage of Sales

=(A2-A1)/A1*100
would give the percentage markup.

In both cases, you could format the cell as percentage and omit the *100
form the formulae

Excel Misc >> Net profit I'm sure someone will provide the answer, but I don't think that's going to help
you. You would be better off if you learned how to ferret out the answer
yourself, such as googling "gross profit" or skipping fewer classes.
