=20/(c3+d3)

is the percentage that c3+d3 is of 20.

However, now you have a display problem, because if c3+d320, you want the
number 20 displayed, but if it's less, you want a percentage displayed. A
possible solution is to display only percentages using the formula:

=if(c3+d3=20,0.20,20/(c3+d3))

and format as percent.

If that's not what you want, give us specific examples of what you want
displayed in each circumstance.

There's always a solution.

Hello and thank you so much. I'm trying to find out what the percentage of C
& D combined would be of 20. I think I forgot some more of the formula also
because at the same time if C3 + D3 is < or not equal to 20 I need to
calculate what percentage of the sum of C3 & D3 would be of 20%. If the sum
is greater than or equal to 20 then the only value I want to print is 20
because that would max it but if less than 20 then what is the percentage of
the sum of C3 and D3.

Hi
try this in F3

=IF(C3+D3=20,20,C3/D3)
The last bit could be slightly different because you don't explain what the
percentage actually is !!

I can't seem to figure out the following formula:
