How to convert RBC (million/cubic mm) to haem. %

Just curious, thanks. I had a blood test a while ago, and just noticed that my RBC count is 5.45 million/cubic mm. I'd like to know if I'm "gifted", crap or average. :p Going by the chart below, I'm barely above average, but other guidelines suggest that the normal range is 4.5 mill to 6.2 mill, which would put me close to the higher end.

I've googled everthing, and can only find 'range' comparisons, like this.

Thanks. That crossed my mind. I'm no mathematical dude, so I did wonder if a quantity of red cells in a given vol converts to a hematocrit percent. However, I could be wrong, but there seems to be a conversion for hemoglobin to hematocrit percent, so I can't work out why there wouldn't be one for cells/cubic mm

Did you get a result for tHb? That can be converted to Hematocrit but not a RBC.
