Calculating % with a minimum value

I'm looking for a formula that calculates the percentage of two columns, but shows a minimum percentage of 50% if the calculation is less than that.

Is this possible to do in one column, or do I need to have one column with the percentage, and the next with an IF function?

My knowledge of functions is limited so thanks in advance for helping with a potentially basic question!

Try this...

=IF([COVID Venue Capacity]@row / [Venue Capacity]@row < .5, .5, [COVID Venue Capacity]@row / [Venue Capacity]@row)

Hi @Natasha Fox

Hope you are fine, Please add a copy of your sheet or a screenshot (after removing or replacing any sensitive information). This will make it easier for me to provide the appropriate answer to your question.

Hi @Natasha Fox

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(AVERAGEIF(ColumnOne:ColumnTwo; <>"") <= 0,5; 0,5; AVERAGEIF(ColumnOne:ColumnTwo; <>""))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Bassam.M Khalil ,

Thanks for the reply.

It's really very simple but hopefully the visual helps. I am looking for the "Covid Venue Capacity %" column (the third one) to show what percentage the COVID venue capacity column is of the Venue capacity, but with a minimum of 50%.

So in the example illustrated I would want it to read 50% for the top row, and 60% for the second row and so on. In the example I have manually input the percentages.
