Percent increase

I'm trying to find a percentage increase formula from one cell to another. I
know, now, that a percentage change formula is =(a1-b1)/b1, but what about an
increase instead of change? Please help me with this simple equation

Please explain the difference between a % increase and a % change.

If your "New" value is in A2 and your "Old" value is in A1, then the
percentage increase from A1 to A2 is:

=A2/A1-1
