Percentages in Excel
Hi,
I'm testing a lot of PCs and I need to work out the score of each machine as a percentage of the benchmark system's score. I want to enter the number of seconds it took a PC to perform a task into an excel cell, I then want excel to tell me what percentage of the original system's score this time represents. Can anyone tell me what formula I need to use? Any help much appreciated. Karl |

With the benchmark in A1 and your score in B1, enter this formula in C1:

Thanks bob, but what does "this_machine" stand for?
What should I put in that part of the formula?

The timing of the machine whose rating you want a percentage of the
original. You would normally put that value in a cell, and use the cell reference. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Karl" wrote in message ...
