I am trying to compute a percentage for a range of A4:A24; the onl
values in the cells are either an "X" or it is left blank.

If possible, I am trying to compute the percentage of the whole A4:A2
range where the "X"s will count as a yes and the blank field will coun
as a no, adding up all the X's (yes's) and counting them against th
blank fields (no's) to get an percentage of how many X's there ar
compared to blanks

Can anyone help please, Ive searched tutorials but im not sure this i
possible

Thanks E

AVERAGE is the wrong function to use for this purpose. Try:

=COUNTIF(A4:A24,"X")/ROWS(A4:A24)

formatted as Percentage.

Of course, you could replace ROWS(A4:A24) with 21.

Quick and dirty, but it works :)

=COUNTA(A4:A24)/SUM(COUNTA(A4:A24)+COUNTBLANK(A4:A24)

Format the cell as %
