Default How do I get the percentage of total for a large data set

Instead of subtotaling use a pivot table. That functionallity is built right
into a pivot table. Data that is easily subtotaled is ideal for pivot tables.
Look them up in the help files to get started and get back to us if you have
any difficulty.

When subtotaling a column based on a field change in another column can Excel
also calculate percentages for each value that makes up the sub total.

What I realy need are the percentages

EXAMPLE
NAME1 100
NAME1 100
NAME1 100
NAME1 100
NAME2 300
NAME2 300

DESIRED RESULT
NAME1 100 .25
NAME1 100 .25
NAME1 100 .25
NAME1 100 .25
$400
NAME2 300 .5
NAME2 300 .5
$600
