How to interpret the result
URLTO change mode requires a positive initial value. For activity starting at zero, describe the absolute change and new occurrence.
Deciding what to do next
Substituting a tiny positive value changes the real baseline. Retain the original zero and mark the ratio undefined.
Feature scope
Calculate portions, final discounted prices and changes in the browser. Change mode requires a positive initial value and does not automatically apply tax, compounding or accounting rules.
Frequently asked questions
