Use

This template calculates the percent change between two real number values and displays the result in a selectable format.

The syntax for this template is:

{{change2|old|new|years=|dec=2|color=yes|sort=yes}}

where:

• old = the required nonzero real number representing the base value
• new = the required real number representing the object value
• years = the optional real number of years from the base value to the object value
• dec = integer number of decimal places to display in percent change (default=2)
• color=yes — display percent change in the following colors: (default)
  • gain in green
  • no change in default color
  • loss in red
• color=no — display percent change in default color
• sort=yes — add a hidden sort key prefix (default)
• sort=no — don't add a hidden sort key prefix
