Percent is part per hundred and you would use scrap*100/ordered (or over
shipped as needed)
So for ppm use =scrap*1E6/ordered

I am creating a chart that my spreadsheet totals go into. Here is an
example
of one of my spreadsheets:
Mnth total qty ordered total qty shipped total scrap
JAN 456 455 1
FEB 898 877 21
MAR 345 321 24

I need the total scrap to be PPM - parts per million, so it will show up
on
my chart. What kind of formula should I/can I use to turn the #'s in my
total scrap column into PPM?
PLEASE help me!!!
