    Return percentage based on range of cells from two columns

    I know this is probably going to be a very simple formula but still learning.

    I want to sum a range of cells say O5:017 and then divide this by a range of cells N5:N17 to calculate a percentage but this is returning a #VALUE! so clearly doing something wrong.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Does this work for you?

    =SUM(O5:O17)/SUM(N5:N17)

    Format the cell as a %
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
