    auto-calculate percentage formula

    hello,

    Im trying to figure out a formula to auto-calculate percentage of a few cells.

    If you look at the attached image... Im trying to insert:

    A1's percent of A4 into A5
    A2's percent of A4 into A6
    A3's percent of A4 into A7

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can lend me a hand, I really appreciate it.

    Try putting this formula in A5

    =A1/A$4

    format A5 as % and copy formula down to A7

    Calc a list item's percentage of a total

    Using your posted example....

    Try this:
    • Select cell A5
    • Type: =
    • Click on cell A1
    • Type: /
    • Click on cell A4
    • Press the [F4] key one time
    (That will put dollar signs ($) in the A4 reference to "lock" it)
    • Press [Enter]

    That's the basic formula: =A1/$A$4
    Next...set the format to percent:
    • Select cell A5
    • Hold down [Ctrl]+[Shift] and press [%]...(on the [5] key)

    Copy cell A5 and paste down as far as you need
