The percentage % difference column is the proportion of the 2nd column relative to the first column. So if sales during the first period was $1845.00 and sales during the second period was $1445, then the percentage difference would be 78.3 or 78.3 percent of the 1st column's sales, a decline of 21.7% when comparing the two periods.
Variances are sorted by largest positive increase to largest negative decrease.
