Default Formula for figuring percentages of 2 numbers

Excellent, thank you.

Just divide each column's total by the grand total and format the cells to
show Percentages. For example, if your totals are in Row 100 and the Grand
Total is in D100, then

=A100/D100
=B100/D100
=C100/D100

and whatever cells you put these formulas in, Format Cells to Percentage.

Let me try that again. In column A I have a list of 1's giving me a total,
column b I have a list of ones, and C, to = a grand total. Out of the
grand
total I need the % of column A, B, and C.

=449/578 returns 86% using basic arithmetic.

Your second request is a little vague.

You want a total of column A and total of column B and need a percentage?

=SUM(A1:A10)/SUM(B1:B10) entered in C1

Or maybe =A1/B1 in C1 and copied down to C10

Format all formula cells to percentage.

I have a total of 578 out of that 449 is what percent? Then I need to
know
how to calculate it in an excel spread sheet for each column.
