Hi
I have 3 values in 3 column (e,f,g)e is booked patient,f is seen patients and g the number of no shows. to obtain g I have formulated the cell to =(E28-F28)/E28 e.g to give me a percentage of no shows.
however when I have zero values in E and F I get this error message #DIV/O in G.
I cannot seam to find the right equations to reflect g as a 0% until numbers have been populated in e and f.
any recommendation gratefully appreciated
regards
Hi, Grag,
the point is that when a number is divided by zero (0), Excel shows the #DIV/0! error. It happens with your formula when there's nothing in F28 cell. Please try the following formula in G28 instead:
=IF(F2>0,(E2-F2)/F2,0)
If you want to learn more about the IF function, please have a look at our article that explains how the functions works.

TELL ME FORMULA
Hello, Ram,
If you take a quick look at this point of the article, you'll see that to decrease an amount by a percentage you need to build the following formula:
= Amount * (1 - %)
For instance, the formula =10*(1-2%) reduces the value by 2%. Don't forget to set Number as a number format.
I Wanna calculate in percent
e.g.: for $350 i want to add 20%
And for each $ less than $350 should be added 5.7% more to the 20%
e.g.: for $349 should be added 25.7% and for $348 should be added 31.4% etc.
How can I write it in a formula in excel ?
Thanks

I don't think this has been covered. Sorry if it has.
I'm try to work out how many more are required to hit a certain %.
For example 10 items with 3 attachments.
How many more need to be sold with attachment to get to 60%.
I know there would need to be another 8 sold with attachments to get about 60%.
11/18*100 = 61.1%
I want to be able to change the % of attachments.
so if > 60% then you are ahead, but if less then 60% you need to get the next X with attachment to get above 60%
Thanks for any help.
How do i get rid of divx errors when trying to work out growth percentages as per example below:
=(U21-T21)/T21
Always shows divx when it is dividing by 0 and this makes spreadsheet look unprofessional and i am struggling with the iferror formula to help with this kind of error.
try =iferror((u21-t21)/t21),)
That should leave it blank

I am trying to figure out how to charge my adult children rent for the amount I am in the hole every month. I am in the whole $2,000 a month. I want to figure out how much each person will pay by there yearly income. Some make 40K, some 20K and 12K. Also, what is the formula to check the calculation.
I would sum the total income (say total income is $100,000). Then determine each person's percentage of the income (whoever makes 12k would be 12%, and so on). Then you'd use that percentage to determine that person's share of rent (the person who makes 12k would pay $240).
Thank You very much for very clear and easy way to explaining the steps. You're best in teaching the methods and process.

Hi,
I need to create a simple formula where a total of one cell minus 2.5% equals the total of another cell.

can you please help me with this no matter what I try a can't get it to work.

I have the following share price fluctuations:
From To Appreciation
Company A $100 $50 -$50
Company B $50 $100 +50
Company C $100 $200 +100
Company D $200 $150 -50
Shares were sold at $160
Now, the total growth is 60 (i.e. 160 - 100) but each company contributed different portions. For example, Company A was no contribution, Company B no contribution as the price was from a loss to the same as allocation, but Company C moved from 100 to 200 = R100 contribution. However because the shares were sold at 160, they pick up the entire growth of $60. This is because D was a decline too.
I have tried multiple formulas to help be calculate these contributions irrespective of how high or low the price was ut struggling. Anyone with an idea.Thanks
old new + or - sold price contribution in percentage
100 50 -50 160 -31.25
50 100 50 160 31.25
100 200 100 160 62.5
200 150 -50 160 -31.25

What I'd like to know is how can I generate various plus and minus percentages for a number? for instance, if I have to find out the values above and below the ranges of 1,5 and 10 percent? in one column I have the numbers I would like to work with and in the next columns I have plus 10%, minus 10%, plus 5%, minus 5%, plus 1% and minus 1%... Is there a way I can make excel work out the percentage values for the number in that column? Surely there's a quicker way than the old calculator method. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
Hi Greg,

Hi,
I want to calculate the percentage of calls made per people in the room. For example there are 16 people in the room and I've made 50 calls between them. What is the percentage?
Hi, Phillip,
To begin with, you need to calculate the number of calls per person.
If A1 – 16 people, B1 – 50 calls, then C1:
=B1/A1
And then in D1 you can count the percentage:
=C1/B1
Make sure to convert your number to percentage (Home tab > Number group > Percentage).

Hi guys i was a little bit confused how to calculate % in salary issues. your explanation is highly appreciated.Thanks.
for example;
1) 15% of 100 is
15*100/100 = 15 <--- I think this is Mathematically correct
Remaining = 85
--------------------------------------------------------
2) In other calculation <--- Most of the time i observe it in salary
100/1.15 = 13.043
Remaining = 86.956
So, my question is which is wright & why?
Bassic Amount 450.00 (A1 - 450)
+ 8% (C1 - 8%)
+ 1.25% (D1 - 1.25%)
= 41.625
+ 5.00 (E1 - 5)
+ 65.00 (F1 - 65)
= 111.625
+ 15% (G1 - 15%)
= 128.36875
+ 27.00 {=A1*(1+B1) [B1 - 6%]}
= 155.36875 ( What will be formula for this in excel )
