At this point Excel hates me, I can feel it. So this is what my next issue
is. I have column B which the user places an "x" in the cell that corresponds
with a day of the week in column A. I have column C that has an "x" placed
into the cell when a certain code is inputed into column D, What I am trying
to do is have a cell at the bottom, give me a percentage of the X's between
column B & C. Can anyone shed light on this for me please..

Thank you ahead of time!

Excel loves you!!  It just has difficulty expressing that love.

Use COUNTIF().  COUNTIF(B1:B100,"X") and the similar for column C.

Then take the ratios, etc.

No success with that formula unless again I am doing it wrong. I basically
need to show a percentage of X's from column C vs column B

My explanation was a little sketchy.  Let's say we have this data from B1
thru C20:

0    0
0    X
0    0
X    0
0    0
0    X
X    0
0    0
0    0
X    0
0    0
0    X
0    0
X    0
0    0
0    0
X    0
0    0
0    X
0    0

and in E1 the formula  =COUNTIF(B1:B100,"X")   
and in F1 the formula  =COUNTIF(C1:C100,"X")

E1 shows 5 and F1 shows 4

The total X's are 9 and the percent from column B is 5/9 or about 55.55%
The percent from column C is 4/9 or about 44.44%.

The ratio of B to C is 5/4 or 1.25/1

Let me know if this helps.

=COUNTIF(C:C,"X")/COUNTIF(B:B,"X")
