    Re: Percentage formula

    Try this:

    =B1/A1 (in other words activeno/total)

    (and format cell as percentage)

    Or use =C1/A1... depending what you trying to calculate...

    But you will need to decide:

    5 5 0 0%

    or

    4 1 3 25%

    You can't get both because, with second formula, if you get 0% in first place you will get 75% in second place (not 25%)
