{=(317-SUBSTITUTE(D34,RIGHT(D34,LEN(D34)-MAX(IFERROR(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},D34),""))),""))/317}
You can also simplify by using the following formula
=(317-VALUE(LEFT(D34,FIND(" ",D34,1)-1)))/317

Also I just discovered that if D34 does not have a space between the numbers and the letters it does not work. The result ends up with #Value! in the cell. So either formula which works, one that accounts for a space or one with no space, still needs to format the result as 94.32%. Can you assist me with the formatting of the result per the way I have shown??

=TEXT(PreviousFormula,"0.00%")- Carl_61Oct 13, 2021Iron ContributorI have applied this formula but I cannot get the beginning digits to strip away. What is wrong? What am I doing wrong? My result is 316.9432177. I cannot figure out how to get rid of the 316 in front of the number. I have tried different combinations of the "0.00%" but am not ending up with 94.32%. What am I doing wrong??? Even pressing the % button on the home page is not making this happen. I'm pulling out my hair on this.
