    How do I add a simple % column

    image_2020-11-25_094631.png


    Hello, I am trying to add a simple percentage column on a pivot chart and it seems very hard to do .
    I want to show all the % of all records for each campaign where there was a meeting.


    Record ID Campaign Meeting Date
    1234 A 12/12/2020
    1235 B
    1236 A 06/06/2020
    1237 C 07/07/2020
    1238 A
    1239 B 02/02/2020
    1243 A




    Campaign Count of Records Count of Meetings % of Meetings
    A 4 2 50%
    B 2 1 50%
    C 1 1 100%

    It is possible with PowerQuery, but I think your version of Excel is for Mac, and if so, you won't have PowerQuery, unfortunately.

    Re: How do I add a simple % column

    Is it so basic, or I missed sth?

    E16
    =COUNTIF(Table1[Campaign],[@Campaign])

    F16:
    =COUNTIFS(Table1[Campaign],[@Campaign],Table1[Meeting Date],">0")

    G16
    =[@[Count of Meetings]]/[@[Count of Records]]

    Well, the OP couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge either suggestion. Feels like a hit and run. Some people have no manners.

    Hello AliGW, it's certainly not a hit and run. I have posted two replies and none seem to have appeared.
    Thank you for your help

    Re: How do I add a simple % column

    If you actually want a pivot table (your initial post looks like a regular table) you just need to add two columns to your source data: one that returns 1 for every row and one that returns 1 if the meeting date field isn't blank. You can then SUM those columns to get a count, and use those fields in a calculated field to create the percentage you need.
