excel question

how do i do the following % sum in excel

 

a=cartons ordered,b=cartons supplied

a=100cartons,b=100 cartons...show as 100%

a=100 cartons,b =90 cartons...show as 90%

a=100 cartons,b=110 cartons..show as 110%

 

TIA

should word that a little better

 

column a is quantity ordered

column b is quantity supplied

column c needs to be shown as a percentage.

 

100 ordered, 100 supplied = 100%

100 ordered, 90 supplied= 90%

100 ordered, 110 supplied= 110%

 

etc etc

I'm having stupid head moments, you want to work out the percentage of stock on hand?

Lets say the first number (100) is in cell A1, the other two below that.

 

2nd set of numbers at B1, the other two below that.

 

The Calculations in Column C are (top cell to bottom cell)

 

=SUM(B1/A1)

 

=SUM(B2/A2)

 

=SUM(B3/A3)

 

AND the cells are Formatted in the Numbers, Percentages, 2 Decimal places.

 

 

I hope that is clear as Mud Smiley LOL

I think its =SUM(C4*100%). ie if your total is in C4 then use that. If it's in cell d4, use that. See if that works.

ok I see what you mean, I'll see if I can come up with anything.

 

Another dumb question, why do you want to know this, I mean its easy enough to see, you have 100 stock on hand thats 100%
