Default Number range as a percentage

Hi guys, not posted a new thread on here in a while as my excel knowledge develops. However, I'm stumped with a relatively simple idea.

Does anyone know how I can display a range of numbers as a percentage.
i.e...

Column A Column B
1 200 100%
2 150 75%
3 100 50%
4 50 25%
5 0 0%

Column A will be a monetary value in millions - Formatted to an accountancy field.

B1 will 100% because A1 is the highest number in the range of A1:A5



Any help greatly appreciated.

Jason

I should note that the monetary value in Column A will never be 0, so it will 0% would refer to the lowest value.


This value is the total estimated cost of all condition need to schools in Birmingham but need to show this as a percentage.

Thanks Claus.

With a small amendment I got it to work in my spread sheet.

In B1:

=A1/MAX($A$1:$A$5)

Shows the highest number as 100%, the lowest as 0% and the rest fall as they may.
