I have a large amount of data that I would like to calculate percentages
for. Specifically Economic Data, which breaks out Total US Sales, Then each states sales. I would like to have a new column which expresses each state's percentage of overall US Sales. But when I copy my formula down the column, say C2/C1*100, it copies C3/C2, C4/C3 and so on, instead of each state divided by C1. any help appreciated, I tried PERCENTRANK, but I must be using it wrong. Thanks, Larry |

Dollar signs ($) in range references "lock in" that part of the reference.
Try this: =C2/$C$1*100 Then copy that formula down Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "Larry Holt" wrote: I have a large amount of data that I would like to calculate percentages for.
