Percentage Formula Troubleshooting

I am trying to set up a formula to keep track of our events, of which 50% need to be completed within disadvantaged communities. I set up a formula but its not reporting properly. Currently it should be 100% as we have completed two events and both were in disadvantaged communities. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help!

=COUNTIF([Disadvantaged Community]:[Disadvantaged Community], true) / COUNT(Completed:Completed, true)

    Hi,

    Try switching the denominator "COUNT" to "COUNTIF":

    =COUNTIF([Disadvantaged Community]:[Disadvantaged Community], true) / COUNTIF(Completed:Completed, true)
    

    Best!
