I have studied MS excel and MS offices at my school but has forgotten to perform percentage calculation in excel. How can I perform the percentage calculation between two cells in excel?
Sometimes the percentages can be frustrating because it is not always easy to remember what we learned at school. Let Excel do it for you. Simple formulas allow you to calculate a percentage of a sum or a percentage difference between two numbers. If your company sold 25,000 vans in the quarter and you need to know the percentage of 200 vans. To find it, divide 200 pounds into 25,000 pounds.
This formula is in cell E2: = C2 / A2. Since cell E2 is not formatted as a percentage, the displayed result is 1.25. Click the Percentage button to format 1.25% in the Home tab. If you are using Excel Online, click Excel Enter Online Number Format> Percentage button on the Home tab. We now see that 200 minivans account for 12.5% of the 25,000 minivans.
