allowed to press * to skip he question or leave blank, how can I get the
percentage for the calls and exclude these numbers?

Not sure about the worksheet structure as there appears to be 4 column
headings and 5 values however probably you can use the

=COUNTIF(J5:J10,"0") to determine non asterisk and no blank entries
and
=ROWS(J5:J10) to determine total responses
Post that with the above information any coumputation should be
possible

I don't inderstand what you mean by:

percentage for the calls and exclude these numbers?


Do you mean exclude the * and blank cells?

SUM() will ignore both * and a blank cell, (or any text in fact) so will not
simply SUMming the numbers and dividing by whatever you criteria is give you
the answer you want?

This Is the formula I am Currently using
=SUM(G2:O2)*20/9
there are actually 9 columns and the value are between 1-5
the issue is the blank cells and cells containing *(stars)
How can I make these cells either equal 0 or just not counted in the formula
