Default How do I make column C a percentage of column B

Worked example:-

1. In cell B 1 enter:-

100

2. In cell C 1 enter:-

50

3. In cell D 1 enter:-

=(C1/B1)

The result of this formula will show as:-

50%

(Make sure that cell D 1 is formatted as follows:-

- single right hand click in cell D 1

- from the options that are launched select Format Cells (by clicking on it)

- Number tab

- Category: (make sure that this is set to Percentage and then hit OK)).

Apply the above to your situation and you should come up with what you want.

Please hit Yes if my comments have helped.

Thanks.
