Count Text to get a Percentage

Hi,

I have 12 offices and each needs to do a reporting exercise.

Part of that exercise is to enter a Yes or No into a column - example would
be: 'Have you carried out a H&S Check?' - Validation List = Yes or No

From that answer I need to get a % of the 12 that answer Yes and a % of
those that answer No - the results will be displayed in seperate colunms on
a Master Tracker Sheet I have - hope that makes sense

Is there a function for this?

regards

Craig

With the cell formatted as percentage, something like this...
=COUNTIF(B1:B12,"Yes")/12

Assuming that your Yes/No responses are in F2:F13, then:
=COUNTIF(F2:F13,"yes")/12
and for the no percentage, either
=COUNTIF(F2:F13,"no")/12
or, assuming the yes percentage is in G2:
=1-G2
Those will give you a decimal number, format as percentage to see them
expressed as a percentage.
