    I'm not sure I'm getting it... a percentage is just a division

    % = ON HAND / AUTHORIZED

    And go to CELL FORMAT > NUMBER > PERCENTAGE to make the cell have the corresponding formatting.

    Or was it something else? Please explain better if so.

    Re: help solving percentage formula

    looking at your file....just a few observations/suggestions

    1. the "1" you have in B4 is actually text, not a value
    2. your formula in H4 starts off by testing B4+C4+D4+E4+F4 with the contents of G4...G4 is the sum of those values, so (if you enter values instead of text), it will always be "true" and return a ""
    3. in H4, try using =(M4-K4)/M4 and format it as % (which it already is)
    4. if you need to return a blank if any of the cells has no data, use =iferror((M4-K4)/M4,"")

    Let me know if this is what you wanted?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
