Work out the percentage
Hi
I have 1160 rows of client info with one column being the coutry in which a client lives. How can I work out the percentage of how many times a country appears in that column. Ideally, I would like a formula that reads the colum, counts the times a country appears and creates a list of the countries it found and the percentage value of how many times it appears from the total. The results could be in a new worksheet or within the same worksheet - It makes no difference. Thanks for your help. |

Work out the percentage
Hi,
Two stages. First to get a unique list of countries select the data then do an advanced filter of unique items to a new location. I put the data in column B starting in B1 for this formula which goes in C2 and is dragged down to get the percentage. =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$1160,B2)/COUNTA($A$2:$A$1160) I assume your list has headers so I started in B2 Mike "malycom" wrote: Hi I have 1160 rows of client info with one column being the coutry in which a client lives.

Malycom -
You can run a pivot table against your data, using only the Country field for the row source and the count for the data area. You can set the data area to show percentages of the total. -- Daryl S "malycom" wrote: Hi I have 1160 rows of client info with one column being the coutry in which a client lives.
