    How do I show a percentage of a project completion?

    Hi all,

    So I started using Excel for project management and I am starting to get the hang of it.
    However, I can't figure out this one little thing.

    I have 2 rows.
    One row shows the number of jobs completed
    The second row shows the number of jobs not completed

    Lets say there are a total of 27 jobs.
    All 27 jobs being completed should equal 100% So 27 = 100%

    I want to make a third row showing that percentage, which should be based off of the first row.

    Example:

    Jobs Completed: 15
    Job Not Completed: 12

    Percent Completed: ---

    Now just to let you know, I have tried some formula's and have wound up with the reverse percentage (i.e. The percentage incomplete) and even answers such as "1200%"
    This seems like it should be easy, but I'm stumped.

    Can anyone assist?

    =A1/(A1+A2) and make sure your cell is formatted for percentage

    Would be easier if you could upload a sample spreadsheet.

    However, for now you can try this in row 3.
