Default Can't figure this out...

So frustrating, I'm hoping someone can help me, because I know Excel can do
anything. This is a bit complex, so I'll try to explain it the best I can:

I need to be able to get a percentage of occurrences of YES and NO values as
they pertain to a table with numerical values. To illustrate, I may have
something like this:

1 YES
1 YES
2 NO
4 YES
4 NO

etc.

In this example, "1" gets YES 100% of the time, "2" gets YES 0% of the time,
and "4" gets YES 50% of the time. Is this doable?


Try a Pivot Table.

These directions are for Excel 2007, but I believe will also work in earlier
versions, although the options may not be in the same place.

1. Label each of the columns. I chose "Values" and "YN" as the labels.

Insert/Pivot Table.

Drag
Values to Rows
YN to Columns
YN to Values area (or Data area)

Right click in the data area and choose Summarize Data By : More Options
Choose to Summarize by Count
Show values as Percent of Row

Format other options to taste.
