If you want instead a simple number without a percent sign, just multiply by 100: =(C6/total)*100 To display a percentage in Excel, use the Percentage number format, which will automatically display a decimal value as a percentage. To format a number like this as a percentage with the percent sign (%), apply the Percentage number format. If you have more complex calculated fields, then it can get even more complicated. For a SUM() measure this looks the same as a Sum of Sums, but for an AVG() measure the Grand Total is an Avg computed across every row. In cell D6, the ratio is 700/1945, which is approximately 0.36. A Grand Total for columns is computed as if there there were no Dimension pills on Rows.
The numbers in column D are decimal values that express a ratio.
The formula becomes: =C6/$C$15 // returns 0.3599Īs the formula is copied down, we get a percent of total for each item shown in the table. Using the named range total (C15). Without the named range, we need to use an absolute reference to "lock" the address to C15 so the reference doesn't change as the formula is copied down column D. The formula in D6, copied down, is: =C6/total // returns 0.3599 In cell D6, the ratio is 700/1945, which is approximately 0.36 (36% when formatted as a percentage). To calculate the "percent of total" for a given expense, we need to divide the amount of the expense by the total of all expenses. For example, 85% is read as "Eighty-five percent" and is equivalent to 85/100 or 0.85. In mathematics, a percentage is a number expressed as a fraction of 100.
The total already exists in the named range total (C15) which contains a formula based on the SUM function: =SUM(C6:C14) The formula used is MIN ('DURATION', 8) When calculating the grand total it appears that excel has computed the Grand Total and then used the formula MIN ('DURATION (HOURS)', 8) to cap it to 8 hours. In other words, given that we know the total is $1945, and we know Rent is $700, we want to determine that Rent is 36% of the total. Sum of DURATION is added in the Values section and comes from the source data. In this example, the goal is to work out the "percent of total" for each expense shown in the worksheet.
