Calculating percentages is one of the essential calculations that you have to perform when it comes to interest rates, profit and loss, discounts, statistics, comparing quantities and even tax calculation. A percentage is a representation of parts per hundred of a quantity. It is usually calculated by dividing the numerator by the denominator and then multiplying the result by a hundred. In this blog, we will learn how to calculate percentage in Excel along with formula examples for percentage calculations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/data-science-and-machine-learning-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ready to upgrade your data science skills?

This is because we don&#8217;t have to multiply the result by 100 as applying percentage format to a cell does this calculation without manual prompts. Follow the steps given below to calculate percentage in excel.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click on a blank cell.<\/li>\n<li>Enter x\/y in a cell.<\/li>\n<li>Press return. The result will appear as a decimal in a cell.<\/li>\n<li>Select the cell with the result.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the home tab.<\/li>\n<li>Select the number group.<\/li>\n<li>Select the percentage style button.<\/li>\n<li>To change the number of decimal points shown, click on increase decimal or decrease decimal button as you need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An example is provided here for a better understanding of the concept.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"30\"><strong>&#8211;<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>A<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>B<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>C<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>D<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"30\"><strong>1<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>Student <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>Marks obtained<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>Total marks <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\"><strong>Percentage <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"30\"><strong>2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">Ram<\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">20<\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">50<\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">20\/50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"30\"><strong>3<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">Seta<\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">40<\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">50<\/td>\n<td width=\"38\">40\/50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Here the formula is given to the cells D2 and D3 to get results.

For example, there is a pay rise for your work this month. Then you can compare it with the previous salary by calculating the percentage change.<\/p>\n<p>The Excel formula for calculating the percentage change is:<\/p>\n<p>(New value- old value)\/ Old value<\/p>\n<p>If the value is positive then it is a percentage increase and if the value is negative it is a percentage decrease.<\/p>\n<p>What you have to do is click a blank cell and apply this formula. Then press return. After that, you can use either method 1 or method 2 to get the appropriate result i.e. the percentage change.
