I have a column titled "On time" the entries underneath this title are
either"Yes", "NO", or "NOT COMPLETED". I want to create a pie chart with the
percentages of Yes and NO.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

In one cell, use the formula =COUNTIF(A1:A100,"=YES"). In another,
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"=NO"). Build your graph from the results of those two
cells.

Hope this helps.

I don't understand. this is what my sheet looks like:

Project Name Sheduled Date Completed Date On time

blah blah 2/28/05 2/28/05 Yes
bling blah 3/5/05 3/6/05 No

and so on...
My on time column is a formula. I need to create the chart based on what I'm
getting in that column.

You could create a pivot table to summarize the data, and create a chart
from the pivot table results.

There are instructions for pivot tables in Excel's Help, and Jon Peltier
has information and links:

You'll need to create total rows somewhere -- at the bottom or top of your
current spreadsheet or on a new sheet. The pie can't count yeses and nos.
It can only graph based on an inputted number.

So, at the bottom of the rows of data, you should have a total row for yeses
and one for nos, using the formulas I listed earlier.

Thanks again Jane. You've helped me twice tonight. I appreciate it.
