Formula to yield a percentage

Hi,
I have 2 formulas, TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups and TotalTeamsForAllRptGroups. These yield integer values of 751 and 798 respectively
I need to make a third formula, the % of teams signed out. This is simply
TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups / TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups
But this comes out as 1.
I have tried
CDBL(TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups / TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups )
and CDBL(CDBL(TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups) /CDBL( TeamsSignedOutForAllRptGroups ))
but it still comes out 1.
I want it to come out .9411 (which is 751/798).
What am I missing to make it do this?
Thanks,
Dick

I made a typo in my original post. It should be:

Formula for arriving at percentage of increase/decrease

Does anyone know the formula in Numbers '09 to identify sales increase/decrease percent from one cell or date period compared to another? In Excel it is quite simple, i.e. =(B-A)/A and ENTER. This formula doesn't work in Numbers. I'd like to get deeper into Numbers but this is a stumbling block for me.
Thanks

Actually, this is the classic textbook manner in which we are trained to arrive at the value of a sales increase or decrease. If, for example we wish to compare December 2008 sales to December 2007 sales, the formula is =(DEC 08-DEC 07)/DEC 07. Then of course you would format the cell to % function and you're good.
The glitch in Numbers is, as you noted, one cannot click the (DEC 07) cell at conclusion. Your work-around in which one simply types it in solves the problem. Another poster offered advice but it was somewhat different, and that formula works perfectly but is used for a different purpose. That is a formula that seeks to identify the percentage of value or relationship between two cells, NOT the increase or decrease. THAT formula is =DEC 08/DEC 07.
Thanks all!

Formulated Grand total as percentage value

Hi,
Here is my sample data
Val1 Val2 Percentage( Val2/Val1 )
59 16 27%
19 4 21%
78 20 26% (now instead of getting 26% i'm getting 48%). How to get formulated grand total value based on previous two columns ?
Thanks

Try this: on your Percentage column, change the aggregation rule to "server complex aggregate."

please reply..its urgent
thanks in advance..

please reply..its urgent
Here is a tip: if you want to tick off people from helping you, you should absolutely include "urgent" in your post. That's a good way to encourage people to move to the next post. I did see this one earlier today, but did not have the time.
Anyway, I cannot really make out heads or tails of your question. Your output takes about gender, but I cannot see it in the output from the query, which appears to group by "Foreign" and StateName. How does the boys and girls get into the picture?
And for that matter that "totals" column?

I am not sure I am understanding what you are saying. So let me explain my form a little better or at least try too.
I need to know the Coverage % of the Revenue and the formula I thought would work in formcalc is
CoverageRevenueTotal / NetRentalRevenueTotal
But it is not coming up with the right percentage. What am I doing wrong?

Treat this most urgent, report is pending due to percentage total.
Regards
ramesh

I applied this:
If([Process Category] InList("Process01") And IsNull([Date]);[Percentage];Max(Date)))
[Percentage] = (Count([Date])/Count([Operation]))*100.
but, this is not becoming true - even when Operation has one Date
Showing result as:
List#,Process01,Process02
100, 11/12/2010, 11/15/2010
But result should be
100,50%,11/15/2010
Can anyone help me achieve the right result!
Thanks in advance.

Help with multiple date percentage report

Dear all,
I am having problems with getting percentage right on my report which is set to YTD however I am counting records for Last 5 days, Last 4 weeks and Current Date.
I am getting the records perfectly right as I have created 3 different Groups for them. The Running Totals are counting the correct number of records.
As I have two Running totals for each job (Credit Job + Free of Charge Job), these two jobs are getting added up in the report.
For example
YTD formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Last 5 Days formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Last 4 Weeks formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Current Date formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
To get the grand total of these records, I have created another formula which counts all the above YTD records, L5D records and displays them in the report footer. Grand Total is showing up correctly.
Now, What I want is the percentage of each record, i.e. the percentage of YTD records, L5D records etc.
I have created a formula which counts the percentage but incorrectly.
Here is the formula
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar b:=0;
numbervar n:=0;
numbervar m:=0;
b:={@TotalJobsFOCRL5D}; // this is total job, (Credit+Free of charge jobs)
n:={@TotalJobsFOCRL5DGT}; //GT is the grand total showing in report footer
If b=0 then 0 else //if total jobs = 0 then answer is 0
m:=(b/n)*100; // divide total jobs with grand total
totext(m,2)+"%"; //show as percentage
This formula does show the percentage but divides each job by itself. So if Total Jobs = 9 then it shows 100% whereas Grand Total is 479.
Could someone please help me getting the correct percentage.
The percentage formula is placed on the respective group footer.
Regards
Jehanzeb

How to do a TopN Sort based on a formula

Hi all,
My report has two groups, Store and Department. In the details section are multiple jobs per store with costs. These are subtotalled by Store and Department. I want to compare total spend for each store with the store budget and produce a list of the Top 10 stores based on the percentage actual spend/budget.
My problem is I can only do a Top 10 sort on a summary field and I cannot summarise the percentage field as this is a formula which doesn't seem to allow summaries.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
JD

Jan,
Here are a couple of options.
1) Do the calcuations on the database (thru either a stored proc or command object).
2) Insert a crosstab where the rows are based on the Store and the summarized field is based on the formula that outputs the percentage of the actual vs budget as a Maximum. You can then do a TopN sort on the crosstab

Percentage Calculation in Query

Hi Gurus,
Hope you are all doing good! I have an issue in my query. I have calculated the summation of Profit for 05 and 06 . In the properties these are the specification i have given :
1.Scaling Factor : 1,000,000
2.Number of Decimal Place : 0.0
3.Calculate Result As : Summation
    I get the summation for both 05 and 06 correctly. I computed the percentage for
both and seems to be fine.
Formula used for computing percentage : ' / Profit 06' / ' / Profit 05' * 100
My issue being the Over all percentage seems to be high.
Any idea Gurus?
Points would be surely assigned.

Sunitha.R

Hi Norris Silva,
As per your scenario total questions = 11
persons (c1, c2, c3, c4, c5) = 5
c1 answered questions = 5
c2 "          "      = 5
c3 "          "      = 1
here to calculate the percentage of answered questions
for each person. This can be calculated as below with use of
calculated key figure
c1's % ---> ci1 answered questions/total questions * 100
         5/(551)*100= 45.45%
like write formula in calculated key figure for each person.
Hope it helps you...

Ramki.

Percentages from Numerical Values Assigned to Text

I am new to Excel and am having trouble with what I thought would be a simple formula. I am trying to create a formula that will find the percentage of text in a single column. Example, I am looking for the percentage of "Yes" to "No"
values in a column, and am not sure if I should assign a numerical value and then try and create a formula that will calculate the percentage. I have had no luck so far, any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming the yes/no values are in column A, the following formula with give the percentage of 'yes' entries in that column:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"yes")/COUNTA(A:A)*100
If you format the result as %, omit the *100.

Percentage calculation on query designer (7.0)

Hi experts,
I´m new on Query designer (7.0) and I´m trying to do a finnancial report, so for the lines I create and structure using G/L accounts and in the columns I got the amount for each level in my structure for a month. Now I´m trying to create an Integration percentage, it specifies how high the percentage in a level is in relation to next higher level but so far I couldn't make it...
My report must seem like this:
Structure.............................Amount ...... Int %
1. Assets................................1000 ....... 100%
1.1 Current assets.................... 600 ....... 60%    -> (600/1000)*100
- Cash............................. 300 ........ 50%    -> (300/600)*100
- Inventories..................... 300 ........ 50%    -> (300/600)*100
1.2 Long-term assets................ 400 ....... 40%    -> (400/1000)*100
- Property, plant and eq..... 150 ....... 37.5% -> (150/400)*100
- Investment property......... 150 ....... 37.5% -> (150/400)*100
- Intangible assets..............100 ....... 25%    -> (100/400)*100
I try to use each Percentage calculation options (%, %A, %CT,%GT, %RT) but it didn't work. Can anyone help me in creating a formula to get this percentage?
Thanks

Percentage Profit workings?

Hi,
I am using this formula to evaluate the percentage profit on a product :-
=(M464-D464)/(M464*100)
In this case
M464=0.12
D464=0.08
The answer to my formula is 33%
This evaluates the percentage profit between the two prices but what I would like to do is create a formula that calculates this price (M464) from (D464)?
I am struggling with getting htis to work & all the formulas that I have tried come up with different numbers?
Can anyone help me to solve this please?

Thanks for the replies, its better that I expalin all to clear this up
Here is an extract from the table
I am working out retail prices & wholesale prices from the cost prices of an item, a mini truck in this case.
Row 4 is the old system that I had.
D4, has no sum, this is filled by me
E4 has no sum, this is filled by me
F4 =(E4-D4)/(E4*100)
G4, has no sum, this is filled by me
H4 =(G4-D4)/(G4*100)
I4 =(E4-G4)/(E4*100)
Previously I have been filling in e4 & g4 then just playing with the numbers until f4, h4 & i4 display the correct profit %.
F4 should be around 50%
H4 & I4 should be 30%
This can take a bit of time so, on updating the table I figured there should be a sum that can do this for me. I am just struggling with it.
I need to work out the costs in this way as it continues the ongoing system & effects how prices are discounted later on, outside of Numbers

ASO and loading percentages

I have a measure that is a loaded percentage. Then I have a formula that references this percentage. In BSO, I would do a calc and then do a backcalc so that the percentage in total wasn't something like 2000000%. Obviously I can't write a back calc and I can't ask the users to only pull level zero of every dimension. How is this typically handled in ASO without writing some crazy MDX formula?

Just to clarify a little further.
I have two members in my accounts dimension
PD%
PD$ = [PD%] * [Volume]
I am loading PD% to level zero members in my product dimension. When I pull an upper level member in the product or any other dimension, it will obviously be giving me a very large number which I am ok with.
When pulling level zero products, PD$ provides the correct results. If I pull any upper level member, I would like to retrieve a summed up amount, not have the formula calculated at that level. Any suggestions?

I need help with creating some formulas

I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me, but I'm trying to create a Numbers document and need some help with creating a formula/function.
I have a column of amounts and I would like to create a formula which deducts a percentage (11.9%) and puts the result in another column.
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example that shows one way to do this:
The original data is in column A. In column B we will store formulas to adjust the amounts:
1) select the cell where you want to formula (in this case cell B2)
2) Type the "=" (equal sign):
3) click cell A2:
4) now type the rest of the formula which is: "*(100-11.9)/100" that is asterisk, then open parenthesis, 100 minus eleven point nine close parenthesis forward slash one hundred
The Asterisk is the multiply operator (times) and the forward slash is the division operator (divide)
now hit return. select cell B2 and hover the cursor over the bottom edge of the cell:
drag the little yellow dot down to "fill" the formula down as needed.

Form Field IF Statement Help

I have a form with fields, "CompletedDays", "TotalDays" and "Percentage". I am trying to write a formula in a the "Percentage" field that indicates, IF "CompletedDays" divided by "TotalDays" is greater than or equal to 60, show 100, else show the calculated amount. Any help would be great, thanks.

You can use this code as the custom calculation script of the Percentage field. It will keep the field blank if either values is blank or zero.
var completedDays = +this.getField("CompletedDays").value;
var totalDays = +this.getField(""TotalDays").value;
if (completedDays==0 || totalDays==0) event.value = "";
else {
if ((completedDays/totalDays)>60) event.value = 100;
else event.value = completedDays/totalDays;
