I have a data set that I need to calculate percentages on.

 

Sample Table:

Group   -------------- Quantity -------------- CumulativeQuantity

A                                 2                                          10

A                                 3                                          10

A                                5                                           10

etc. 2000+ observations

 

Want something like this (add a percent variable):

Group   -------------- Quantity -------------- CumulativeQuantity-------- Percent

A                                 2                                          10                         20%

A                                 3                                          10                         30%

A                                5                                           10                          50%

etc./and so on for 2000+ observations

 

Can't seem to get the code correct to output percent.

 

Thank you for your help!
