i want to calculate the percentage of mean value of particular data.
There is no single function in Excel.You calculate the mean (average).For each observation, you calculate its deviation from the mean.Convert the deviation to absolute deviation.Calculate the mean (average) of these absolute deviations.
calculate the effective return (mean return minus the risk free rate) divided by the beta. the excel spreadsheet in the related link has an example.
Excel does not automatically calculate and display the mean in a bar chart. You can add the mean following these steps:Enter your data points (EXAMPLE: A1:A23).In cell A24 (or whatever cell is at the bottom of your data), enter the formula =AVERAGE(A1:A23).Highlight all the cells (A1:A24) and use that as the data to create your chart.Format your chart as you like.Observe that the last entry in the chart will be the MEAN.If the bar chart already exists and you do not have access to the original in Excel, then you will need to add up all the values of all the bars and divide by the number of bars on the chart.
No, not always. It depends on the type of data you collect. If it is quantitative data, you will be able to calculate a mean. If it is qualitative data, a mean can't be calculated but you can describe the data in terms of a mode.
