 * Hey Tobias,
 * I have brought some information over from other tables in columns C, E, and G,
   row 8 in the table I’ve linked below. Is there any formula I can use in column
   H to get winning percentage automatically calculated? I had been manually entering
   the data in the three cells above, but I’m trying to automate things to save 
   time.
 * Thank you,
    Kris

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * From what I can see on your website at [http://www.d2softball.com/cacc-standings-test/](http://www.d2softball.com/cacc-standings-test/)(
   I can not access the link that you posted, as that would require a log in.), 
   you are refering to the use of Shortcodes in formulas, right?
 * This is indeed not possible by default, but can be achieved by installing a small
   TablePress Extension as a new plugin, see [http://tablepress.org/extensions/shortcodes-before-formulas/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/shortcodes-before-formulas/)
   
   That will enable another Shortcode parameter that activates the functionality
   that Shortcodes are parsed before formulas. So, just extend your Shortcode from
   something like
 *     ```
       [table id=CACC-ST-Test /]
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       [table id=CACC-ST-Test shortcodes_before_formulas=true /]
       ```
   
 * after installing that Extension.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
