    How to show percentage of words from a list?

    I have a large list of terms like shown below. Id like to know if there is a way to have it tell me what percentage of the total
    number of words is each one For example;

    visit website 32%
    Visit Homepage 15%
    Vicky Dryers 2%

    Not sure if this can even be done but if possible would like some help.
    The list of words would be similar as below.

    Hi ,

    I can't reconcile back to your perentages, but nonetheless I think this is what you're after (just change the ranges to suit and fill down as required):

    =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$35,A2)/COUNTA($A$2:$A$35)%

    HTH

    Hi

    One way, is this.

    Format the cell with the formula, as Percentage(%) and use this formula.

    =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100;"visit website ")/10

    Is this what are you looking for?

    Hi,
    May be a variant with pivot table
    The data are in table : automatically update when adding or deleting data
    Don't forget to refresh the PT after new input in the table
    The percentage count Visit Website is obtain with parameters value field
    View values by column percentage and sorted from largest to smallest
    Hope this helps
    Best regards
