I need a formula that will translate a percentage change into a word.
For instance;
if the percentage of cell a1 is negative 5% or greater I want cell b1 to
transcribe "LOWER PRICE"
if the percentage of cell a1 is 5% or greater I want cell b1 to transcribe
"HIGHER PRICE"
if trhe percentage is between -5% and +5% I want cell b1 to transcribe
"STEADY PRICE"

Thank You in advance.

=IF(A1<=-5,"Lower",IF(A1>=5,"Higher",IF(A1<>-5:5,"Steady")))
I'm treating the A1 entry as a number.

What if a1 is a percentage?
