Default Calculating Question

Sorry, RJ. I can't help you any further. When I enter the data, I get the
correct results.

You either need to share with us your formula, and your cell format, or you're
on your own.

Using the =sumif formula I put in the following percentages:
100%, 102%, 120%, 150%, 200%, 100%, 120%, 45%, 100%
the total I got was 7 not 8. So am I missing some sort of wildcard for it to
count percentages over 100%?

Using the countif command it only shows 5 out of the 8 100% figures.

Given your data, if you want to "show 5 being over 100%", then you want
Countif,
not Sumif.

However, that still doesn't explain how you got 3 using Sumif. When I type in
your sample data, and use the formula =sumif(A1:F1,"100%"), I get the
correct
answer of 4.87.

For us to help you further, you'll need, as requested in my last post, to
provide the formula you are using. Also, tell us how the cell is formatted.

Sorry about that. Here is some data:

A1 = 101%
B1 = 152%
C1 = 109%
D1 = 100%
E1 = 85%
F1 = 125%

With these percentages, it only shows 3 in the sumif cell when it should
show 5 being over 100% I thought the "100%" would be the answer but it is
not. If I change 152% to 105% it will then show 4 and not 3. I would like
it
to simply look at the percentage column and if it is over 100% add it up
and
give me a total of targets over 100%

Your formula should work -- it worked properly when I tested it.

Give us a sample of your data, the result you got, and the result you
expected.
You confuse us when you say "I had 5 goals over 100% and only 3 showed
up".
Are
you wanting to count the goals over 100%, or sum them?

Thank you ahead of time for your help and assistance.

I am working on a worksheet right now where I have a column showing the
percentage of goal vs. target. I would like to make a formula that would
add
up all the percentages that are 100% or more over those goals.

Currently, I have the following formula but I am not getting an accurate
count.

=SUMIF(O45:O62,"100%")

One example I had 5 goals over 100% and only 3 showed up. One goal was
157%
and other was 125%
