Here's a challenge solution.

I didn't like the division by total input rather than by good data.

RegEx expressions are one of my favorite things to do. Good parsing challenge.

Followed the directions and got a different result. 

Spoiler
We were told to eliminate incomplete data so there should be 1845 rows, not 1850. The solution shows 1850.

My solution, had to look at the source data to figure out how to separate some of the values.

All,

 

Spoiler
I'm not really sure what happened as with the 1850 Total entries, I ended up with 286 Large amongst some other small differences.
-I used the Count tool & Append Field Tool, Text To Column, 2 Formula Tools.
-I always attempt to complete every challenge without the use of custom code, so no Regex for me.
