Excel 2000.  This may be too complicated but everything else I have asked in
here has been answered and works great.  I have a column of numbers (column
8).  These numbers are the result of the count function.  I have 70 records.
Some of the counts are 0, some 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.  I want to report the % of
each of these numbers.

Example:  If I have 10 records and 5 of thenumbers are = to 6 then the
answer will be 50%.  I would like to report the % of each number when
compared to the total number of records.

Thanks,
Linda

=B1/70

copy down (this assumes the first number is in B1) Then format as percentage

That did give me a % for each record but I want a summary of the total
number....

Here is what the sheet looks like

11222        5
111            3
1                1
111111      6
121222      6
111111      6

the 1s and 2s represent charting audits 1=yes and 2=no

The 5,3, 1 is the number of charting audits done.  The max number to be done
is 6.  I need to report the % of employees who had 6 done, 5 done, and so
on.  Then next quarter we will hopefully show an improvement and 100% of the
employees will have had 6 charting audits done.

Thanks,
Linda

=Cell_with_5/6

and so on

Assume that your numbers (that would be the 5 and 3 and 1 etc) in your
example starts in B2, now in for instance C2 put

=B2/6

since 6 is the 100% it can be hard coded

Linda

Assuming the number of audits data are in Column B. In D2 enter 0, D3 enter
1, D4 enter 2 etc up to 6. Then in E2 enter the formula

=COUNTIF($B:$B,D2)/COUNT(B:B)

Format as percentage and copy down to cell E8. This will give you the
percentage of employees who have done 0 audits, 1 audit, 2 audits etc.

In E9 enter
=SUM(E2:E8)
which will give you your total of 100% assuming you only have audits of 0 to
6 entered in column B.

Hope this helps

Think you might have missed the response (pasted below)
given to your earlier post's follow-up query re: http://tinyurl.com/8nu7c
----------------------
Try: =TEXT(COUNT(B2:G2)/6,"0%")
which'll display the result in percentage to zero dp

For more on this "combining data",

As you probably mean to concat a text phrase to the percent result,
so maybe something like:
=TEXT(COUNT(B2:G2)/6,"0%")&" of 6"
would be closer to what you're after

Gee...I had no idea what excel could do.  I am trying to learn access, I can
see excel is just as powerful and challenging.

Thanks everyone.  I finally got it!
