How do I use a percentage formula?

Currently I am working on an assignment and need to turn a whole column
(approx. 153 cells) into a individual percentages of one cell. Every time I
tried to use a formula I either got 0 or DIV#0. I was wondering if there was
a formula I could create on my own so that I can drag thru the entire column.
I even tried to fool around with the '$' in the cells and that was
unsuccessful. I was also wondering if it had to do with the fact the numbers
in the cell also originate from formulas? Thanks


Sample #s and they need to be %s of 14,500,698

1,400,000
870,000
590,000
565,000

425,000
424,791

If your numbers are in column A, and your total is at the bottom in A50, in
B1, put:
=a1/a$50
Format as a percentage.
Drag down to B49
