How do you create a % format type?

Hello,

I am having a problem getting a % sign for this format 99.55%. I have tried creating the format using the Format Cells "Custom" function, but I am unable to create a format type. Is there another way create this format?

Appreciate any help on this issue. Thank you.

You must be storing the percent value as 99.55 instead of .9955, which would be why you are having problems.

The following format should get you what you want:
Code:
0.00"%"
The other option would be to divide the numbers by 100 and use the standard percent format.

Regards,

Ax
