How do I get excel to calculate ticked boxes as a percentage
I have inputted check boxes in a table on excel from the Developer tab and I want, at the bottom of my table, for a formula to tell me the percentage of how much is completed.
I have used the formula:
=COUNTIF(B6:B36,1)/COUNTA(B6:B36)
I have also tried various other formulas similar to this one though they are all pulling the error message
#DIV/0!
Will the fact I have entered in the check boxes from the developer tab mean that the formula won't work, is there anything I need to do with the check boxes to make sure they're in the correct field?
Please help!

The error message tells you that cells B6:B36 are empty. This means that the controls have not been linked to cells in the correct range. Both the new 365 controls and the traditional form controls return TRUE/FALSE rather than 0/1 so the formula would need to read
= COUNTIF(checkmarks, TRUE) / COUNTA(checkmarks)
