[R] MOnth over Month Variance in %

[Jeff Newmiller]

It seems like the ?diff function might be useful here, but without a reproducible example  (at the very least some data  provided as dput output and results of your Excel calculations for that data) we would have to guess quite a bit and likely be wrong.
Take the recommendations at [1] to heart and give us a better picture of your problem and attempted solution.
