    Displaying both Value and (Percentage) in same cell?

    Hi all,

    I have a simple worksheet here that counts the number of occurrences in several groups. smokingstatus.xlsx

    I would like to have each cell to contain the % of occurrences in that column (percent of total, vertically).

    How can I accomplish both values in the same cell, example:

    38 (32.2)
    35 (26.7)
    45 (38.1)
    118 (100.0)

    Thank you all,
    AW

    You can' do that with a formula because, for example, the 32.2% depends in the 38 which would be in the same cell. You can have a value or a formula in a cell, not both.

    Edit: Unless, as suggested by #2, the 38 is coming from elsewhere and not typed in directly.

    Re: Displaying both Value and (Percentage) in same cell?

    The values are being derived from an SPSS output (which I have copied into Excel).

    I know that SPSS can output the percentage in an adjacent cell, but for formatting purposes I was curious if I could just to this in Excel. Is this not possible because the values are 'manual' (copied) instead of calculated?

    Hi
    Try to use a new column. It's better
    See the filesmokingstatus.xlsx
    Format as (0%)

    If you put the % in a different cell like this:

    Data Range
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    4
    Current
    %
    Former
    Never
    Total

    38
    32.2%
    10
    2
    50
    6
    BOOM
    35
    29.7%
    9
    6
    50
    7
    GMHC
    45
    38.1%
    3
    2
    50
    8
    Total
    118
    100.0%
    22
    10
    150


    This formula entered in D5:

    =C5/C$8

    Format as Percentage, 1 decimal place

    Copy down.
