Calculating % of different measures taken
Hi,
I have 6 values in 6 cells : B ( 2=4.2 ;3=5.2;4=6.3 ) G ( 2=5.3;3=6.3;4=7.45). In cells C 2,3,4 and H 2,3,4 I have to calculate a procentage using cell B2 as a refference. B2 = 100 % I have been given a formula ( =cell with minimum time/absolute value of the cell) which I have treid using but its not working for some uknown reason. Can you PLEASE help. Cheers Goran |

You have to calculate a percentage of what? To calculate G2:G4 as a percentage of B2: =SUM((Gx/$B$2)*100) Where x is the cell you wish to have the percentage of B2 of. -- A S-D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A S-D's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33227 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=530474 |

Two points: Firstly why have you used SUM()? In what way do you think that is different from ((Gx/$B$2)*100)? [Hint: look at Excel help for the SUM function.] Secondly, why bother multiplying by 100? Can't you just format the answer as a percentage? -- David Biddulph |

I gave an answer that would give the response I thought he wanted. My methods might not be perfect. I'm not an expert in Excel, but I wanted to help to repay for the help that was given to me. I did it the way I would do it - formatting as a percentage seems unneccessary to me! As for the SUM() usage.. I can't explain that. It's just what I do when I type in a formula - it helps me to think in the right mind-set! -- A S-D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A S-D's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33227 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=530474 |

OK. In cell D2, write =SUM((B2/$B$2)/100). Drag this down to D4, and across to E4. This will give you the relative percentages of B2. I've attached the sheet. Based upon the data you gave here. I hope it helps.
