    I haven't started yet as I am unsure as to where to start. I have however figured out theat N must equal 0 or the ercentage wont calculate correctly.

    What I'm trying to do is when I enter Y or N there is a percntage calculated at the end of the week.

    Re: Percentage calculation

    You said you had given an example: I do not see any example outcome. Give us an idea of the outcomes you would expect from some lines of data in your workbook (manually calculated).

    Re: Percentage calculation

    This will work in Excel versions 2007 and later. Sorry, don't have 2003 so can't test solutions for that version.
