RE: Percentage of column entry

Hi Adele

Thank you for your question

You can nest 2 "counta" functions into a simple division calculation and then format the result as percentage.

The syntax is as follows

=COUNTA(Range of second row)/COUNTA(Range of first row)

The countA function counts how many non blank cells there are in a given range.

All you need to do is type the above into the cell where you want the result, taking care to put the correct ranges into the CountA functions

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Closing all your workbooks Quickly

Hold the SHIFT key down and using the mouse click on the file menu, it will now now CLOSE ALL rather than close. This closes all workbooks down but still leaves the application open.
