Help: Assigning a "word" a numerical value
I am trying to assign a word a value for percentage computations. I want to
assign the word "UP" the value of "1" and the word "down" a value of "0" for determining the equipment status percentage... so if a piece of equipment was UP for 7 days and down for 3 days I want it to work out the percentage it was UP... 70% out of the 10 days total. Each day is assigned a status in a column Up or Down. How do I assign the values so I can have the column automaticly update every time I add a status? |

Help: Assigning a "word" a numerical value
Use COUNTIF()
The below will give you the UP percentage.Assuming the status words are in ColB and the headers in Row1 try the below =COUNTIF(B2:B100,"up")/COUNTA(B2:B100) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Eric" wrote: I am trying to assign a word a value for percentage computations.
