How do I work out percentages?

RE: Formulas

Hi Kim

A percentage is a fraction that has been formated into a Percentage (multiplied by 100)

So to create a pecentage just divide two numbers and then format the answer using the % format. For Example:

Cell A1 = 30 and Cell B1=40

In Cell C1 enter =A1/B1

This gives a value of .75

Select Cell C1

1. Select the Format Menu and Click Cells

2. In the Format Cells dialog box under the Numbers tab Select Percent and click OK

C1 will appear as 75%

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Excel2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
