Default calculate percentage of cells that have any value

If I follow you, Column A will be populated in order, while Column B may or
may not, and you want the percent of A that's filled, compared to what's
filled in the corresponding Column B.

If that sounds right, try this:

=COUNTA(B1:INDEX(B1:B250,MATCH(99^99,A1:A250)))/MATCH(99^99,A1:A250)

Format the cell containing the formula to percent.

Great! That looks good. What if I make it more complicated? Let's say I
have
250 rows, but only the first 100 are populated. I want the formula to look
at
only those rows that have been populated so far (but I want to keep my
blank
rows to allow for growth). So I want to say something like:

What percentage of rows with a non-blank column A have a non-blank column
B?

Can I do that?

For range A1:A100 try

=COUNT(A1:A100)/ROWS(A1:A100)
