    Expressing percentage

    Hi guys,

    If I have a very long column list of 2 subject types, for example 'Apples' and 'Oranges' (with each line containing just one of these words) what can be the formula to express one against the other as a percentage?

    Such as - there are 86% of Oranges...


    Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi,

    Perhaps, assuming your range is A1:A10:

    =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"Oranges")/ROWS(A1:A10)

    Format cell as percentage.

    Edit: I assume you're mistaken when you write: "one against the other as a percentage..."?
