    Formula to calculate the percentage of work completed

    I was given a problem by a friend of mine to see if I could figure it out. I can't. The problem is this:

    A production line produces 280 cases in 1 hour. The workday lasts 12 hours. This totals to 3360 cases, at 100% of the daily quota. I need a formula that will show the percentage completed. For instance, after 6 hours, it should show 50% completed. I've uploaded my workbook, and thank you in advance.

    Hi Zodiark,

    Welcome to the forum.

    I think if you divide the present hours against 12 hours, you'll get the answer, see the attached file. thanks.

    Thanks a bunch, it worked perfectly!
    But now let's say that I wanted to be able to change the percentage by changing the data in Column A: such as if instead of having a consistent rate of production, I had varying amounts completed each hour? Is there a way for me to make the percentage based of of A?

    You mean just to use the case produced?
    In that case, just alter the formula to be
    C3=A3/$A$7
    copy the formula down
