I want to take a list of numbers which are already added up, and get the percentage of each one. Help.

It really isn't very clear what you want to do, but I'm gonna guess that you
want to know what each number is expressed as a percentage of the sum. If
so;

Let's say the list of numbers is in cells A1:A10 with the sum in A11

In cell B1 create the formula =A1/$A$11 , format as %, then copy down to
B10 & adjust decimal display formatting as necessary. Note: The $s are
necessary to make the reference to A11 absolute ($A$11) so it doesn't change
as you copy the formula down column B.
