In Excel, the formula to calculate a percentage is quite straightforward. You can use the following formula:
Copy code
=(part/total)*100
Here's a breakdown of the formula:
part- represents the value that you want to calculate the percentage of.
total- represents the whole or the reference value.
To put this formula into action, let's say you have a part value in cell A1 and a total value in cell B1. You can enter the formula in another cell to calculate the percentage:
=(A1/B1)*100
This formula divides the part value (A1) by the total value (B1), then multiplies it by 100 to obtain the percentage.
Make sure to format the cell with the formula as a percentage by selecting the cell and applying the percentage format from the number formatting options in Excel.
