I have two columns in a table. 
I need to find the number of rows in which Rating_a is not equal to Rating_b and then divide that number by the total number of rows in the table. Basically, I need to find the percentage of where the values differ. Could someone please help me with this? I think using the COUNT function could work. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Here's a sample (actual table has 1000s of rows) of how it looks like:

Rating_a   Rating_b
1 1
2 3
4 4
4 1
3

3

To show changes, one would have to write "rating_a ne rating_b" instead of using the = sign. But thank you for your answer. I understood it and it works and I'm accepting it 🙂

Would there ever be missing values? How would those be handled?
