    Find percentage of positive numbers from A4:A23

    Only numbers above 0 will be counted as positive
    The formula must calculate the percentage of numbers above 0

    Thou shalt count only positive numbers. Thou shalt not count 0, nor any number less than 0.

    Re: Find percentage of positive numbers from A4:A23?

    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%

    The formula is correct. Please check your implementation. If you can't get it to work, attach your file.

    Yes, sorry the formula worked. I forget to consider the blank spaces. Its possible to count BLANKS as negative numbers?

    I assume you mean non-positive. Change the formula to

    If you can guarantee that all cells with have either a number or a blank, i.e., no text, then you can use this:
