How can I add a "percent staffed" calculation?

Options

Hi everyone,

I have a sheet listing contractors that have been hired for specific projects. Is there an easy way to add a "percent staffed" calculation based on the positions listed for the project, and names of contractors that have been confirmed?

Thank you.

    If you are trying to count multiple contacts in a single cell, something like this may be useful.

    You can use this formula to count contractors, then divide by the number of positions. Then if you set that column to a percentage, you should be all set.

    =IF([Column8]@row <> "", LEN([Column8]@row) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE([Column8]@row, ",", "")) + 1, 0)

    Never mind the "Column8". I was using a test sheet to try this formula out.

    Also, the "IF" function is just incase the cell is blank.
