    working out a percentage

    morning happy campers,

    Forgive the potentially daft question - having some serious brain blocks

    I have 67 units returned to me.
    52 of these are down to kitting errors and 17 are due to processing errors.

    How do i show 67 as 100% and the 52 & 17 as a percentage of these?

    Kind regards

    I think returned units should be 69.
    and calculation should be 52/69 and 17/69 format cell as %

    It's just 52/67, formatted as a percentage, and 17/67 for the processing errors. Note that the two numbers add up to 69, so the two percentages will add up to more than 100% - presumably two of the returns had both types of errors.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
