@Daisy You only need to make sure that when both values are below 0, then max is the value with the largest absolute value. For example -50 and -20, then max=-50 and min=-20. Range will be -30, but that is fine. The negative sign is needed, since correctedStartValue will be negative as well.

@Daisy, well let's test it. If you're going from -10 to 10, then range is 10 - (-10) which is 10 + 10 and 20. Looks correct. Then assume input is 8. correctedStartValue would be 8 - (-10) = 18. That first looks strange, but lets keep going. The result would be (18*100) / 20 = 90%. And 90% looks fine to me for value 8 between -10 and 10.

I needed to find the value in a range given the percentage. Taking this formula, I reworked it to val = ((percent * (max - min) / 100) + min
