I have created a table containing 7 columns, 4 rows.

I have a hidden total in cell c4 and totals in d3, e3 etc to g3.

In cells d4g4 I want a % figure to appear (total in d3/c4) - this
formula works in excel but not in Word. Any ideas why?

Yes - because Excel, a spreadsheet program, has much more powerful
formula capabilities than Word, a word processing program.

Learn your tools and then choose the right one for the job.

Hi KLR,

Formulae in Word don't do anything unless you turn them into fields. To see how to do this and perform a wide range of calculations
in Word, check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at:
