Many people ask how to work with a percentage\u00a0in Excel<\/strong>. There’s no science – read this short tutorial, which I have prepared for you. Learn how to work\u00a0with percentages calculations, how\u00a0to change the number format to percentage, and add a % symbol directly using your\u00a0keyboard.\u00a0If this guide has helped you, become a fan on Facebook<\/a> and recommend this site to your friends, it\u00a0can be useful for them too.<\/p>\nThe first thing is to understand how Excel uses\u00a0percent. Believe\u00a0that number registered with the percent symbol (%) or a number formatted as a percentage has\u00a0the same importance as a decimal number. It is particularly suitable in formulas in\u00a0Excel.<\/p>\n
E.g. in cell A2 let us have the value of total revenue. In cell B2, enter a percentage or decimal number (both will have the same meaning for the formula). Income tax (Da\u0148 z p\u0159\u00edjmu)<\/em> is then calculated as the product of rate (sazba)\u00a0<\/em>and income (p\u0159\u00edjem)<\/em>. Income after tax as income minus income tax. In the first row of the figure shown below we see the formula, then the second contains results for\u00a0comparison.<\/p>\n It is important to note that when counting part of the whole it is always the product of a whole and specific percentages.<\/strong><\/p>\n On the second example we show how to calculate the percentages of the total. Let us have values in the table, and their total sum\u00a0in column B. In column C, calculate their share through a formula Value (Hodnota)<\/em> divided by Total (Celkem)<\/em>. Calculated results we want to show as the percentage – just select the range and click on the tool bar Format (version 2003 and earlier) or the Home tab (version 2007 and higher) in Excel to find the icon with the percent (% percentage format<\/strong>). The result will look like in column D.<\/p>\n Format of percent always each number or formula multiplies by * 100 and then adds the % symbol. Number\u00a00.5 formatted as percent sets to\u00a050%, number\u00a00.01 will be 1% and the number 1 is 100% in percentage.<\/strong><\/p>\n Symbol % is sometimes necessary to write directly from the keyboard. But be careful when writing it, the icon in Excel for % format is not active because it can be be applied to the cell only after we confirm the contents of the cell (pressing Enter).
