Default Doesn't it make you mad??

You sit on Excel for hours, days on end, working, and every now and again you
do the SIMPLEST thing and it's not working.

It's a wonder my monitor is still in the building and not out the window...

I will simplify my problem for ease of reading

In column A are the letters A-Z from A3:A28
In column B are random numbers from B3:B28
In B30 is the total of those random numbers.

In C3:C28 is the numbers in B3:B28 expressed as a percentage of the total
(B30)

ie say B12 is 20, and the total is 100, C12 would read 20%.

The formula in each of the cells in column C is
=IF(ISERROR($B3/$B$30),"",$B3/$B$30) and so on, this is run from row 3 to 28.

Here's the funny bit: the numbers in column C add up to 127%.

Any clues? lol
