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

Excel formula: Get percentage of total ' Exceljet

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

If you have a number in Cell A2 (say 100), and you put the amount of percentage increase or decrease in Cell A3 (say -10%), then put this formula into Cell A4 to calculate the answer:
=A2*(1+A3) , which then shows as the answer (90).

If the value in A1 is 100, and the value of A2 is 120, then the formula =(A2/A1)-1 will return 0.2. If the cell containing the formula is then formatted to display as percentage it will show as 20%.

Percentages are calculated by using the following equation:
amount/total = percentage
Where percentage is in decimal format.

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.

=b1/a1.

Then you can format the cell to show the number (.2857) as a percentage (28.57%).

=10000*(1+0.96)^12
=10000*(1+0.10)^18
=10000*(1+0.10)^24
