could some one please help ? i have created a workbook that i want to
use for a test system. treat it like a survey and have dropdows that
they pik the answer, and it picks from 1-4 depending on their choice,
and its put on the results worksheet. Then i have a "correct or not?"
row that has eihter TRUE or FALSE if the student picked the correct
answer according to the answer key (another worksheet)
i want to try and figure out a way that if i make up a 100 questions
and i use this method of having true or false, how can i calculate how
manye false vs true are there and get a percentage?
so if the miseed 4 questions (4 false) then the result is 96%

i am new to this excel world, but im trying to learn, if there is a
eaier way to do this, please advise. thanks in advance...

Use the COUNTIF function to count the number of occurences of False then
divide by the total number of questions and format as a percentage.
