    Let's say your values are in column A, and the average is in B1.

    =COUNTIF(A:A, ">" & B1) / COUNT(A:A)

    First, this will count the values greater than the average, then divide by the total count of cells that contain numbers in the same range. Format the cell with this formula as Percentage.
