So I am working in Excel and trying to figure out a way, if there is one, to find a percentage of booked clients by referral source, by Overarching company. For Example, with fabricated information, see the attached... So with this information, what I am trying to disseminate on a pivot table: American Continuum -- 5 quotes written -- 2 quotes booked -- so, 40% of quotes booked with us -- AC referred 3 Clients, 1 booked - Organic Google brought 1, 1 booked - AdWords brought 1, 0 booked -- AC has a book rate of 50%, Organic Google 50%, AdWords 0% -- based on referral source So, I'm essentially trying to express in one Table that 40% of American Continuum Clients booked with 50% of them coming from AC themselves, and 50% of them coming from Google Organically. And maybe I am missing something simple, or it's outside of my expertise, but I assume that there is a way to do with a pivot table. It wouldn't make sense for there not to be.
