If I have a percentage in a column and in another I have a
value (sometimes it is a minus value) and want to calculate the value as a percentage I cant seem to get it to work. Any ideas I have tried everything I can think of.. Thanks |

Hi
and what's the basis for your percentage calculation?. You may post an example (plain text please) and describe your expected result based on this example -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Don wrote: If I have a percentage in a column and in another I have a value (sometimes it is a minus value) and want to calculate the value as a percentage I cant seem to get it to work.

Percentage problems
Hi,
Enter your value in A1. In B1 enter the number you wish to express A1 as a percentage of (say 100). In C1 place the following formula =SUM(A1/B1) Then format C1 as percentage. When you say it doesn't work, what result are you getting? Is the value in B1 ever 0? This will cause a DIV/0 error -----Original Message----- If I have a percentage in a column and in another I have a value (sometimes it is a minus value) and want to calculate the value as a percentage I cant seem to get it to work.
