calculating characters not numbers

[tourguy]

I have 3 texfield(no numbers but all letters) called position, BeginnersType, ExpertType. What I want to do is Count up the total positions,BeginnersType, and ExpertType itself. After that, I want Position divided by beginnersType get apercentage of how many positions belong in the BeginnersType and the remaining in the ExpterType.
I tried =Sum and other things, but those are only for numbers not for characters. How would I do this??

For a Clearer question, I'll give an example

There are 25 Clerks under position,
Under BegnnersType, there are a total of 12 clerks
And under ExpertType, the remaining 13 are clerks.
So under BeginnersType is 48%
and the remaining 52% is under ExpertType

I want to be able to count the total and get the percentage...
