    formulate cell for percentage remaining in excel

    I know this might sound like a stupid question, please can someone help me with this?
    I am trying to put a formula into a cell to give me the percentage remaining. eg if i have a total of 36 employees of different trades and 6 are off sick, what percentage do i have in to work? i know what % are off and can do this in a cell in excel, but for the life of me i can't find the formula to let me show how many employee's of the total i have in work that day. For an example lets say in cell G86 i have my total of 36 employee's into work, in cell J86 i have the total of 6 employee's off work, so how do i show in a cell the % of employee's available to work that day? thanks in advance

    Hi,
    =1-(J86/G86)
    formatted as %, or
    =(1-(J86/G86))*100
