Good Evening,

Not sure if I am phrasing the question right, but I am trying to figure out if there is a way to remove column C and still have column B subtract initially from the total number and then descend from there. (i.e. 151-4 and getting the percent surviving from that in column D. Then 147-24, rather then 151-24.) I can't seem to figure out a way to create a formula without having the C column in which to properly calculate the subtraction. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! Current formula is : =C8/$C$6*100

hiya,

Firstly welcome to the forum.

I'm sure that this problem is easily fixable, but I'm not sure I properly understand the question. Can you provide a clearer explanation and or an example of the required input and associated output.

Regards

To calculate % surviving, without a helper column, enter this formula in D4:

=100 * (151 - SUM($B$4:B4)) / 151

then copy it down the column.
