How do I use a percentage formula?
Currently I am working on an assignment and need to turn a whole column
(approx. 153 cells) into a individual percentages of one cell. Every time I tried to use a formula I either got 0 or DIV#0. I was wondering if there was a formula I could create on my own so that I can drag thru the entire column. I even tried to fool around with the '$' in the cells and that was unsuccessful. I was also wondering if it had to do with the fact the numbers in the cell also originate from formulas? Thanks Sample #s and they need to be %s of 14,500,698 1,400,000 870,000 590,000 565,000 470,000 439,000 429,650 425,000 424,791 419,475 383,000 342,500 315,000 300,000 275,000 259,167 235,000 235,000 229,938 220,000 210,000 196,000 190,000 180,000 177,000 176,800 170,000 158,333 150,000 140,631 130,000 125,000 120,000 116,000 109,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 90,000 90,000 90,000 80,000 80,000 80,000 80,000 75,000 75,000 75,000 70,000 MeursaultO |

How do I use a percentage formula?
If your numbers are in column A, and your total is at the bottom in A50, in
B1, put: =a1/a$50 Format as a percentage. Drag down to B49 Regards, Fred "MeursaultO" wrote in message ...

How do I use a percentage formula?
I don't think that MeursaultO was meaning what percentage of the total column
each constituent part is. He asks what percentage of 14,500,698 "in a given cell" each entry is. The total of the column is not that figure (it's 12,361,285). I accept that he's given "sample" numbers but he is clear about the given cell figure. So, the way I interpret it the solution is; If data is in col A. Calc is in col B. Given cell is C1 (14500698) In B1 place =A1/$C$1% Drag down -- Russell Dawson Excel Student Please hit "Yes" if this post was helpful.

How do I use a percentage formula?
Hi,
You could try this Type 14500698 in a cell, say M1. In N1, type =$M$1. Copy N1 and go to Edit Paste Special Divide.
