I need help with the formula: I tried everything including Countif - countif and counta, But this is what I want.

I have 5 columns = a,b,c,d,e
each column has yes, no and n/a as value (column d to e)
in columng a I need to find % of yes value.
Easy part is if column b, c, d, e has just yes or no as value.
So for example: B=yes, c=yes, d=yes,e=yes than a = 100%
another example: B=yes, c=yes, d=yes, e=no than a = 75%
so it is easy to write formula if it just yes or no, but there is another value n/a.
If the value is n/a than that column should not count.

so if B=yes, c=yes,d=yes,e=no than formula is countif(b1:e1,"yes")/counta(b1:e1,"no") which is 75% 0r it divides by 4 column.

But if the value is B=yes, c=yes, d=yes, e=n/a than it should divide by 4 column it only should divide by 4 column but only 3 column because any column with value n/a does not count.
so in this case if B=yes, c=yes, d=yes, e=n/a , value of a (answer) should be still 100% because column with n/a does not count and rest of them are yes.
but instead of n/a if it is no, than value will be 75%.

last one more example if B=yes, c=no, d=n/a, e=n/a than value of a = 50% because it only divides by 2 column (other two column with n/a value does not count.

Hope I was able to explain the problem.

after every try i cannot come with one formula which can resolve that issue.

How about (for "yes"):
Rich (BB code):
=countif(b1:e1,"yes")/(countif(b1:e1,"yes") + countif(b1:e1,"no"))
To check for other values (i.e. "no"), just change the value highlighted in red to the value you are looking for.

thank you so much !! not sure, this is exactly what I was doing but opposite (I was adding and dividing later) not sure, it was BODMAS which was messing this up.
this formula works fine, so I did not understand what do you mean by changing the value in red

I did not understand what do you mean by changing the value in red
I just mean if you wanted to find the percentage of "no", you would just change that red "yes" to "no".
