[mso] Re: data is in one column - how do I get the % of each company represented?

Hello Ruth, Vergel and David, Thanks to each of you for your reply.  I have 
come to work this out since sending my message in.
 
To resolve, after sorting the column by company I ended up doing a subtotals 
count (under data) and that represented the # for each company.  Then I did a 
manual formula on each subtotal lines to get the percentage for each.  I'm 
going to try Vergel's method when I get back to the office this week and I will 
let you know. Thanks again for your reply, I do appreciate it.Maryann> Date:

one column has the names of many companies. I ran the sort on it but now I will 
like to get what is the % for each company represented.  This may be basic in 
excel, but new for me.  Do I have to rework the sheet somehow, or can I get 
this somehow just from the data in that one column?  A chart would also be good 
but I don't think I can achieve if the data is just left in the same column.>
