Managed to convince the powers that be to make 10 charts the mandatory
number
:)
KISS principle <G

This is the type of thinking that my grandkids are having to put up with
in
today's "modern" (California) schools!

Well, that would be some bad compliance, eh?

=if(1-(countif(a1:a100,"No")*.1) < 0,0,1-(countif(a1:a100,"No")*.1))

would ensure no less than 0% compliance.

Thank you for pointing out the danger!

What do you do with 15 charts, where 11 are "NO"?

MINUS compliance ... -10%

By Jove, I think you've got it!
Thank you Sean! :D That works rather well!

So, if 10% off for each no,
=1-(countif(a1:a100,"No")*.1)

Hi Bernard,
I know, it doesn't seem logical, but it's what my boss wants.
These are charts being checked and she just wants the compliance
to
show as 100%, 90%, 80%... so if the chart had a particular form
in
it, signed and finished as it should be, that would be 100%
compliance.
if 5 charts had all of that form correct - 100%, but if 4 charts
out of
5
had it, then it would be 90%, if 3, 80%.
You would think that 3 out of 6, for example, would be 50%, but
she
wants
that to be 70%. (10% off for each 'no')
Hope that makes sense. It's driving me crazy LOL

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"Yes")/COUNTA(A1:A100) and format as percent
Percent is merely a ratio of "special"/"total" multiplied by
100

In my math 12 out of 13 is 92% not 90
Suppose there were 2 answers with just one Yes (that is one
less
than
the
total) the answer is 50% not 90%!!!!!!!

Thank you DaveF for "=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"Yes")"
That worked wonderfully... NOW I need to know how to
make it show the percentage - ie - if there are 13 questions
and
13 are answered "yes" that would be 100%, if 12 answered yes
it
would be 90%, 11 = 80%, etc. The number of questions may
vary,
but
if all questions are answered yes, it will always be 100%,
if
one
is
answered no, 90%, etc.
(Does this make sense? yikes)
Thanks!
