The formula results were not correct. I want to find the percentage of positive numbers from A4:A23 only numbers above 0 would be counted as positive,
Example
A4=10
A5=-5
A6=50
A7=-20
A8=30
A9=-10
A10=90
A11=-40
A12=70
A13=-30
Positive numbers: 5/10
Formula result: percentage of positve number = 50%
