I know this should be easy but I haven't had luck figuring this out online. I have a pivot table, in the rows I have Group name, in the values I have count of another column that marks tasks complete. I want to create another column that shows the percentage of tasks complete per group. I know I need to create a calculated field, but nothing's working 🥲 please help!

To create a column showing the percentage of tasks complete per group in your Excel pivot table, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on any cell in the pivot table.
2. Select "Pivot Table Options" from the context menu.
3. In the Pivot Table Options dialog box, go to the "Display" tab.
4. Check the box next to "Show Values As" and click "OK".

Now, to add the percentage column:

1. Click on any cell in the "Count of tasks complete" column in your pivot table.
2. Go to the "PivotTable Analyze" tab (or "Options" tab in some versions of Excel).
3. Click on "Fields, Items, & Sets" and then "Calculated Field".
4. In the "Insert Calculated Field" dialog box:
- Name: Enter a name for your new field (e.g., "Percentage Complete")
- Formula: Enter the formula: `='Count of tasks complete' / TOTAL('Count of tasks complete')`
- Click "Add", then "OK"

5. The new column should appear in your pivot table.
6. To format it as a percentage:
- Right-click on any cell in the new column
- Choose "Number Format"
- Select "Percentage" and choose your desired number of decimal places

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.
