How to add % (Percentage column ) in the excel

Right Click on cell with mouse and select format cells
then select number . If formula was for example percentage of cell a2 calculated from b2 calculated in c2 then in c2 you put =a2/b2
Then you can use percentage in the number format
or you can go =(a2/b2)*100
Also make the cell width more if a problem.

To get around this, you can calculate your numbers as percentages first. For example, if you type the formula =10/100 in cell A2, Excel will display the result as 0.1. If you then format that decimal as a percentage, the number will be displayed as 10%, as you 'd expect.Aug 2, 2011

How to Calculate Percentages in Excel

Excel formula: Get percentage of total ' Exceljet

https://exceljet.net/formula/get-percentage-of-total
Excel simply divides the values in column C by the total in C11. For the formula shown, the result is the decimal number .63. Because the Percentage number format is applied to cell E6, Excel displays .63 as 63%.

That is an unsolveable question. You have to have a Non Zero Starting point in order to calculate a percentage of increase. Black is essentially 0. and no % increase of 0 will bring you anything but 0

There isn't a function for this, but the formula should be something like this:
A1: Number to increase / decrease
B1: % change
C1: 'INC' or 'DEC'
D1: =IF(C1='INC', A1+(A1*B1), A1-(A1-B1))

Percentages are calculated by using the following equation:
amount/total = percentage
Where percentage is in decimal format.
What do you want to do?

Calculate the amount if you know the total and percentage For example, if you purchase a computer for $800 and there is an 8.9% sales tax, how much do you have to pay for the sales tax? In this example, you want to find 8.9% of 800.
Example The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.

1. Create a blank workbook or worksheet.
2. Select the example in the Help topic. Note Do not select the row or column headers.
   Selecting an example from Help
3. Press CTRL+C.
4. In the worksheet, select cell A1, and press CTRL+V.
5. To switch between viewing the results and viewing the formulas that return the results, press CTRL+` (grave accent), or on the Formulas tab, in the Formula Auditing group, click the Show Formulas button.

1 2 A B Purchase price Sales tax (in decimal form) 800 0.089 Formula Description (Result) =A2*B2 Multiplies 800 by 0.089 to find the amount of sales tax to pay ($71.20) Note To convert a number in percentage format to a decimal, divide it by 100. For example, the sales tax in this example (8.9) divided by 100 is .089.
Calculate the percentage if you know the total and amount For example, if you score 42 points correctly out of 50, what is the percentage of correct answers?

Simple way Amount/Total*100

I am assuming that you want your date column to run daily - not updating itself with todays date over previous data....

In which case your column will run a daily date, You can achieve this by typing a date in the format you choose = 01/05/09, 1 May 09, etc hit return. scroll on the bottom corner of the cell you have typed the date in until it changes from a large white cross to a smaller cross and drag this down the column.

For the totals that need to subtotal autmoatically you will need to select a range - so is this total a weekly/ monthly total - How large is your range.

Once you have decided on the above - for example the in Column A the date ranges from 1st May - 31st May for a calendar month, the subtotal will need to include 31 cells - so in the Column B which is the subtotal = SUM(B2:B32)

You can copy and paste the sum into adjoining cells if you are seperating income from expenses etc.

Hope this helps.

find "fx" on your toolbar; choose all formulas find percentage, you can set a specific percentage to the cell, just put the number you want a percentage of or if you want to keep that number, put the percentage formula in the next cell <%a:2>

Hi nastyguy3000;

To calculate a percentage in excel you simply take
amount/total = percentage in your cell

Example A B Purchase price Sales tax (in decimal form) 800 0.089 Formula Description (Result) =A2*B2 Multiplies 800 by 0.089 to find the amount of sales tax to pay ($71.20)

Don't forget to leave a rating.

No problem, Melinda, I am here to help!

If I understood correctly, your spreadsheet looks something like this:
A B C D
1 Question Yes No Total
2 Is sky blue? 20 2 22
3 Is world round? etc.

In this case, the formula for % of Yes would be: =B2/D2. This would give you a decimal point result such as 0.909091. Now if you want to make this look like a percentage in your spreadsheet, just do the following:
1) click on the cell where you have the division formula
2) clck on Format in the top menu bar
3) click on Cells
4) click on the Number tab (if you're not already there)
5) click on Percentage in the list of categories
6) click OK

To boil it all down to a simple principle, percentages are created in Excel by dividing the two numbers using a formula with "/" in it, and then formatting the result to look like a percentage instead of a decimal.

I might have misunderstood your question, and I have an idea of what else you might have been asking (and another slightly more complicated solution for it!), so please let me know if my first answer didn't hit the mark!

Good Luck!
