I have set up the column to be r=color RED, g =color GREEN, y = color YELLOW.
Basically Red = no started, Y = working, and Green = completed. I want to
sum all the field to determine percentage complete. So if all Green then
100% complete. If I have 10 fields and 5 are Green and 5 are either yellow
or red then total is 50%. How do I create that formula?

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"g")/COUNTA(A1:A10)

format as percentage

Peo -

Thanks, that is exaclty what I needed. Can you help me take it a step
further:

If I am less than 50% show red, between 50-99% show yellow and 100% show
green for the summed field.

Thanks!

Take a look at Format|Conditional formatting.

You'll see that you can specify up to 3 formats (which sounds perfect for you!).
