    Fixed lastrow in percentage formula

    Respected MVPs, experts and gurus,

    I have written the following code to calculate the % out of total for all the rows. I am sure there is a better way to do it.

    I wrote this code as I cannot make the denominator fixed. For 2,000 rows it is not a big deal but some sheets have 100,000 rows which might take significant time to execute this loop. Instead of this loop, copying the formula from third row and pasting it from fourth row to lastrow3 (fixed with "$" sign) should be the simple way to execute the code quickly.

    I have thought the following code but could not fathom "..................." :

    The Total is at lastrow3 plus one cell down.

    Thank you

    I don't understand what "...lastrow3 (fixed with "$" sign)..." means.

    You can fetch the last row in column F with:

    Re: Fixed lastrow in percentage formula

    lastrow3 is like any other last row where the data ends. I have assigned different last rows (in the same sheet) as I need them referring in multiple occasions and the different lastrows (lastrow, lastrow1, .....) allows me to work on different part of excel sheet.

    lastrow3 plus one cell down has the sum total from start cell to lastrow cell.

    Re: Fixed lastrow in percentage formula

    Let's assume lastrow3 as 3125th row and the cell having SUM Total is D3126.

    If I copy =D3/D3126 from Cell F3 and paste it all the way down through to F3125 then the last cell F3125 will have =D3125/D6249. My requirement is to make the denominator fixed such that F3125 will have D3125/$D$3126.

    The data are dynamic and lastrow keeps on changing while processing the data and for this purpose I have used lastrow3 (assigned variable for last row) to identify the last row before executing my Loop code. In my Loop code the use of "i" subtracting from the lastrow3 +1 offsets this one cell down movement.

    Re: Fixed lastrow in percentage formula

    Thanks PCI for the solution. It's a nice code to get a solution. I have a solution using formula For LOOP and my intention is to have the formula in it and not the absolute value.

    Can I have something like this in Cell 'F25' "= D25/$D$3126"?

    For this example, my lastrow3 is row 3125 and it may change. The SUM total formula was written like this:
