Yes...and I feel stupid that I can't work it out...should be a simple mathematical equation.	[reply]

`my $diff = ($new10000) - ($old10000);` [download] Or if you want to round it, `my $diff = 0 + sprintf '%.0f', ($new10000) - ($old10000);` [download] Update: The `10000` can be factored out: `($new-$old)10000`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you run the math that doesn't work. old => 100.25 new => 100.26 diff = (100.26 * 10000) - (100.25 * 10000) = 100 when in fact the basis point movement is 1	[reply]
