How to set up a formula to calculate percentages in Airtable?

Step 1: Open Your Airtable Base

First things first, open up your Airtable base where you need to do the percentage calculations.

Step 2: Add Necessary Fields

Make sure you've got at least two fields ready. These fields will be used for your percentage calculation. For example, if you're figuring out the percentage of 'Sales Target Met', you'll need fields like Total Sales and Sales Target.

Step 3: Add a New Field for Percentage Calculation

Hit the + button to add a new field. Pick Field Type as Formula.

Step 4: Set Up the Formula

In the formula field, type in the formula to calculate the percentage. For example, if you want to find out the percentage of Total Sales against Sales Target, use this formula:

{Total Sales} / {Sales Target} * 100

This will divide the total sales by the sales target and then multiply by 100 to get your percentage.

Step 5: Format the Result

Decide how you want your percentage to look. Click on the Formatting tab in the formula field settings. Choose Percent from the options to make sure it shows up correctly as a percentage.

Step 6: Save the Formula

Click Save to apply the formula. Now, the new field will show the calculated percentages based on the values in Total Sales and Sales Target.

Step 7: Review and Adjust as Needed

Take a look at the percentages to make sure they're accurate. If something seems off, adjust the field types and values to fix any issues.
