    Angry Calculated Columns in Excel

    Re: Calculated Columns in Excel

    Also look at displaying the values as percent of row or percent of column - depending on what you mean by total hours. You can show the hours as regular and then display them again as the percent of ...
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
