FORMULA

Is there a way for me to put a formula in the Formula cell where it would
divide all the yes's by all the no's without counting all the blank cells.
So the formula would read 3/5 (number of filled in cells) instead of 3/8
(number of total cells in range)

Your help is greatly appreciated.

If those empty cells are really empty:

=countif(a:a,"yes")/counta(a:a)

If those cells just look empty (contain formulas that evaluate to "")

=countif(a:a,"yes")/sum(countif(a:a,{"yes","no"}))

This will ignore all value that's not equal to yes or no.

Try this:

=COUNTIF(A1:A8,"yes")/COUNTIF(A1:A8,"?*")

Something like this prehaps...
=COUNTIF(C1:C8, "yes")/SUM(COUNTIF(C1:C8, "yes"), COUNTIF(C1:C8, "no"))
Format the cell as fraction...
