It's because this is doing integer division, so 3/sum(3+1) = 0 You need to convert the top line into a decimal, such as (3 * 1.0)/sum(3+1) = 0.75 This makes your query Thanks Kev that works perfect, I have really been struggling with percentages but I have a much better understanding now with your help. cheers
