Table Name
ID Data1
1 Yes
2 No
3 NA

Here's my formula

SELECT SUM(CASE Data1 WHEN 'yes' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / (SUM(CASE Data1 WHEN 'yes' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
+ (SUM(CASE Data1 WHEN 'no' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) + (SUM(CASE Data1 WHEN 'na' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END))))
FROM Test3

I can't seem to have a quotion of .33333. Can any one help me?

similar problem as this:

your "1"s and "0"s are INTs so your resulting precision can't show .3333

I'm getting 2 as the result. I think it's the position of the parenthesis "()'
