You ran into one of the "quirks" of pivot tables. They will yield a number if you count nonnumerical data. Unfortunately, you can't use this number in calculations.
So, you have to play with the source data. I added two helper columns to your source data:
Var Count =1
Yes Count =IF([@Yes]="Yes",1,0)
The first formula simply assigns 1 for each variable. The second formula is 1 if the value is YES and zero otherwise. I calculated the percentages off the helper columns.
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.
Thank you very much! It's working.Originally Posted by dflak
FWIW you could also do it in Power Pivot by loading the data into the data model then creating simple counta measures for each then another measure that just divides those two. See attached.
