Graham,

OK provided no text creeps into your range:-

=(COUNT(IF(C13:INDIRECT("C"&B1)<0,C13:INDIRECT("C" &B1),FALSE))/COUNTIF(C13:INDIRECT("B"&B1),"<"&""))*100

Hi, I want to calculate the % of negative values in a column, using a dynamic
range. i.e No. of negative values, divided by total number of values, X100,
to give a %. The following formula works, but is returning the wrong value:
=SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("$C$13:C"&A2),"<0")/(COUNT(INDIRECT("$C$13:C"&"A2")))*100)
Can anyone spot what I've done wrong ? and/or a simpler way of doing the
same thing ?
Many Thanks
