Default Determine the percentage of a range of cells with a certain value

Hi
If the Working, Waiting and Done are all in one column (with heading
Status say) of a table then use a Pivot Table.
In Excel2007
1. Click anywhere in the table and do Insert, Pivot Table. Say yes to
a separate sheet
2. Drag the Status heading to the Row Area of the Pivot Table
3. Drag a "second" Status heading to the Values Area of the Pivot
Table

The default setting of the Values area is Count. If it is not on Count
then click the Values dropdown, Select Values Field Settings and
switch to Count. Also in the Values Field Settings dialog box you can
Show values as...% of Total. Done!

If your table is not organised into columns then...you are making
things difficult for yourself..
regards
Paul

workbook.

Thank you for any help!
