Default how to get a text/letters to equal to a percentage

Perhaps I should clarify on this "complicated" minor issue. The spreadsheet
has other data in various fields. The data that I need calculated starts
from I7 to I11, then I13 to I17, then I19 to I23, then I25 to I29, then I31
to I35. Then the end result field starts from L7 to L11, L13 TO L17, L19 TO
L23, L25 TO L29, L31 TO L35. Confused???

Hi,

Here is a formula for % compliance assuming your data is in A2:A100

=COUNTIF(A2:A100,"c")/COUNTA(A2:A100)

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

ok..i think this is diffucult, I just dont know cause i have never done this.
but i have a spreadsheet that has two columns one says C/N and the other
percent compliance. the c stands for compliant and the n stands for
noncompliant. basically i want the c & n to equal to a percent in the
percent compliance field, so how do i make the c & n be a "number" and then
equal to a percent???? complicated? confused? there are 5 sections of 5 rows
that have 1 percent compliance field.
