Count Text to get a Percentage
Hi,
I have 12 offices and each needs to do a reporting exercise. Part of that exercise is to enter a Yes or No into a column - example would be: 'Have you carried out a H&S Check?' - Validation List = Yes or No From that answer I need to get a % of the 12 that answer Yes and a % of those that answer No - the results will be displayed in seperate colunms on a Master Tracker Sheet I have - hope that makes sense Is there a function for this? regards Craig |

Yes, there is a function in Excel that can help you with this. You can use the COUNTIF function to count the number of "Yes" and "No" responses and then divide by the total number of offices to get the percentage. Here are the steps to do this:

With the cell formatted as percentage, something like this...
=COUNTIF(B1:B12,"Yes")/12 -- Best Regards, Luke M "Craig" wrote in message ... Hi, I have 12 offices and each needs to do a reporting exercise.

Assuming that your Yes/No responses are in F2:F13, then:
=COUNTIF(F2:F13,"yes")/12 and for the no percentage, either =COUNTIF(F2:F13,"no")/12 or, assuming the yes percentage is in G2: =1-G2 Those will give you a decimal number, format as percentage to see them expressed as a percentage.
