Thank you so much.

Yes, and it wasn't what I was looking for.

I explain.

I wanted something that would update only when I added those characters.

The document in which I am going to apply it is a list of objectives, and I want to obtain the percentage of those that I am achieving. That's why I want it to update as it marks completion.

You understand me?
