function calculateSalesGrowthRate() {
var currentPeriodSales = parseFloat(document.getElementById("currentPeriodSales").value);
var previousPeriodSales = parseFloat(document.getElementById("previousPeriodSales").value);
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("result");
if (isNaN(currentPeriodSales) || isNaN(previousPeriodSales)) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter valid numbers for both periods.";
return;
}
if (previousPeriodSales === 0) {
resultDiv.innerHTML = "Previous period sales cannot be zero to calculate growth rate.";
return;
}
var salesGrowthRate = ((currentPeriodSales – previousPeriodSales) / previousPeriodSales) * 100;
resultDiv.innerHTML =
