    Help with finding percentages and pivots

    Hello so in this practice job question, the question says

    "9. On the ?Workings? sheet use formula and/or pivots to analyse this dataset to identify the percentage of students still retained and graduated at the end of the third year (by course) and the proportion of graduates that received a good honours degree (by course). The columns you require are as follows: ?Course Code?, ?Course Title?, ?Retained?, ?Graduated?, ?Good Honours?"

    i have tried to do a pivot table to give me the subvalues of students that are graduateted and retained but i cant do it and the pivot is giving my unlabled rows, i have attached the speadsheet so whomever looks at it can see, but i would really appreciate some insight and help on this as it has been stressing me out the whole day

    (also data is across test data sheet, and working sheet)

    I assume that the template sheet is the one which should be replicated.
    I feel that unless the questions can be answered by adding helper columns to the test data sheet, that it would be easier to answer this question using formulas.
    There may also be a way to get the information using power pivot, however I still feel regular formulas to replicate the template sheet would be a better option.
    Consider taking the time to add to the reputation of everybody that has taken the time to respond to your query.
