Count "Yes" and Return Percentage?

Jennifer Dewhurst

I am trying to create a "scorecard" of sorts.  I have seen the formulas that allow you to count the number of "Yes" and return a value. But can you return that value as a percentage of responses? 

For example, say I have 5 columns with drop down answers of "Yes" or "No". Assume four columns were "Yes" and 1 was "No"; That would be an 80% success rate. I need a numerical value to export to Excel to generate charts.

What does the formula look like? Is there a better way to get what I'm after?

GOT IT!  

=COUNTIF([Completed by Tuesday Deadline?]3:[Formulas Maintained?]3, "Yes") / COUNT([Completed by Tuesday Deadline?]3:[Formulas Maintained?]3) * 100

I found the answer in another post; just needed to search a little more.

Okay, changed it to *1 for proper  formatting.

Good job!  Glad you were able to discover the answer.

I have nothing to add except thanks to the OP for posting the solution even though she found it herself. This was exactly what I needed for my sheet. 

Thanks Jennifer
