Ton:

I think that there is a small error in your posting

(hhv(h,130)-c)/(hhv(h,130)/100)

should be

(hhv(h,130)-c)/(hhv(h,130)*100)

Similarly

put in colB : (hhv(h,130)-c)/(hhv(h,130)/100)

Should be

put in colB : (hhv(h,130)-c)/(hhv(h,130)*100)

Other wise  you have a neat solution to the query.

Lionel
