Hello guys,

It is the first time I post on this forum, so please don't blame me :)

I have the following issue. There are 2 columns. One with discipline codes and another one with the Job title of the employees.

I have to calculate the percentage of Job titles having the same Discipline codes compared to the people who have the same Job titles having different Discipline codes.

For instance, if you take a look at rows Q189 and Q208, both of them have the value Sr Product Manager. The corresponding rows in column C are C189 and C208 but they have different codes. In some cases the Sr Product Managers have the same Discipline code, but sometimes they don't. As, I said I have to calculate the percentage of the same Job titles having different Discipline codes.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. My apologies, I am not a native speaker, thus I can't really explain the issue clearer than that.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Besides, I am only getting N/A's :confused: Nevertheless, thank you for the effort oldbrewer.

What didn't work? Wrong answer? No answer? something else?

Keep in mind that OB gave you a COUNT of the instances, not the % - you would need to run the % based on his answers

as FD says very easy now to add percentages to the table. Sum every row with a total of 2 or more = 32 and express that as a total of all job titles

It was my fault. I misunderstood the answer of oldbrewer.

Thank you guys for the support!
