    Formula or function to find percent of a percent in a population

    I am looking for a way to find the percent of a percent. I have a population with two sets of data. I want to see the percentage of that population that reached a percentage value. Between the two I want to know the percentage that grew a certain amount.

    Example: 55% of participants had 5% growth in their portfolio.

    How can I do this?

    Re: Formula or function to find percent of a percent in a population

    You could try a formula like this :
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    where A4:A104 is the investor,B4:B103 is initial investment, C4:C103 is the current holdings, And E2 is the percentage growth to look for
    (note this will calculate for that value or greater)
    See attached

    the yellow section in column d shows the % change, is used for the check and may be safely deleted
    the red section (E4:E103, I2:I3) is used as a check for the formula above and is not used by the formula at all, so may be safely deleted, or you may prefer either of the check methods

    in the C column I randomly assigned a 1%-10% growth or loss

    Hope this helps
