    Percentages formula

    Could someone please tell me what is the formula for the following for cells C12/B12: If the answer is less than 1 percent I want it to show <1%, and if the answer is more than 1%, I want it to show the actual percentage.

    Thank you.

    =if(C12/B12<.01,"<1%",C12/B12). Format your cell as percentage

    Re: Percentages formula

    Thank you Alan. The only problem I am having with it is that if on column C12 I have a 0, it shows <1% instead of 0. Any ideas?

    Re: Percentages formula

    If the answer is O, I want it to show 0, if the answer is less than 1%, I want it to show <1, other than that the actual number. Ex, if C12/B12 = 0, show 0, if C12/B12 = .01, show <1, if C12/B12 = 234, show 234
