I have a spreadsheet where I want to express a progress bar of how many fields have "Yes" marked in them. The yes is entered in fields with Data Validation on them.
I've used the formula =COUNTA(C4:C78)/((COUNT(C4:C78))+(COUNTBLANK(C4:C78))) however the output is coming up with an incorrect percentage. As the example shows below there are 36 out of 75 cells marked with Yes which is 48%, however the formula is returning 92%. Is there any other formula that will provide me and accurate result?

Your formula has a small error (typo)

Try

=COUNTA(C4:C78)/((COUNTA(C4:C78))+(COUNTBLANK(C4:C78)))

or an alternative formula

=COUNTIF(C4:C78,"Yes")/ROWS(C4:C78)

Hope this helps

Opps. I did not see that Marcelo responded. I see his second formula is one step cleaner than mine. excellent.
