I knew you could do it!
There you go, I was overcomplicating it. What I was trying to do was work out the return at any given time by looking at the amount spent on the stock (why I showed it as negative) against the actual value of the stock.
Of course this led to wildly varying percenatge returns, especially after sells as you may only be -$100 (of real spent cash) against a stock value of $2000 which would lead to a return of 2000% or some strange figure.
I think I may look at using a fixed value say $2500 which is the max I'll commit to any one stock.
I'll go away for a while and thrash around withmy spreadsheets for a bit longer.

Thanks folks.
