Excel

Hello Will,
I hope you enjoyed your Excel training with us.

To answer your question, calculating a percentage is fairly simple in Excel. Any percentage is essentially a partial quantity divided by a the full quantity. So as example, let's say you want to know what the percentage of attendance to a party, if 45 people attend, and 75 were invited. In Excel, you can formulate this as:

=45/75

However, I always suggest that in Excel, you try to use cell references as much as possible. (Cell references are covered in Excel Introduction - https://www.stl-training.co.uk/excel-2007-introduction.php ). So if you have the number 45 in cell A1, and the number 75 in cell A2, then your formula would now be:

=A1/A2

This way, if you miscounted the number of people at your party, you can easily change the number in cell A1, without having to change your formula.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved. If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. And please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Mara
