Hi all,

i have a quick one, looking at the attached screenshot in h16 i have MAX looking at e10-f10 returning the highest number.

i want to get the percentage from that column for the line i'm on if that makes sense :)

Happy friday everyone!

Thanks AhoyNC.

Yes exactly, basically so when I add a new column, in this case the next one would be 3, it would give me the percentage in that cell on that line. I’m not on my laptop now but I’ll give it a whirl and come back to you :)

You will need to change the reference columns in the index to match your columns. Also, probably need to remove the absolute references in the INDEX if you are going to copy the formula down.
For 3 columns something like this:
=INDEX($E15:$G15,$H15)
