I am giving you the formula for converting % dia to % area:
% area/100=(ACOS(1-2*(% dia cut/100)-(1-2*(% dia cut/100))*SQRT(1-(1-2*(% dia cut/100))^2))/PI
You use Excel to back calculate % dia from % area.
This corelation is obtained from a simple geometrical calculations. You can verify this formula by searching on internet.
