Create columns for 'Experiment', 'Experimental Value', 'Accepted Value', and 'Percent Error'. Enter the data for each experiment in a separate row. In the 'Percent Error' column, use the formula `=(ABS(B2-C2)/C2)*100` (assuming B is Experimental Value and C is Accepted Value). This structure allows for easy sorting, filtering, and comparison of percent errors across experiments.
