Calculate difference between 2 values (Formula)

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to tell AutoCAD to show the difference between 2 values?

I've a block that shows the slope between 2 floor levels, those levels can be + or -.

Is there any way to show the distance between those numbers?

-X +Y

-X -Y

+X -Y

+X +Y

In Excel I'd use the formula IF((X-Y)<=0,Y-X,X-Y), but i'm not sure how to add this in a FIELD

In these

Where are the both values coming from?

Maybe  abs(x-y)  will help you?

That is, in proper AutoLisp format:  (abs (- x y))

You guys are the best!!!!

Worked as intended. Thanks you!!

Edit: The final formula is: ((abs(X-Y))/Length)*100
