Make sure the lists are formatted correctly for percentage. Make sure the
receiving cell of the dropdown list is formatted correctly for percentage.
Pass the value only:

Range("A1").Value = ComboBox1.Value

If you are passing a value already, you probably need to verify that your
list is truly a percent format. If you format one cell, say 100%, if it is
not correctly formatted it will return 10,000%. If both are truly percent
formatted, passing the value will work. I tried it to verify.

I am using a few comboboxes on a worksheet to provide a picklist vice the
validation data. The combobox solved a problem with an inability to
control
the font size with the worksheet is set at 66%. There is a large amount
of
data on this worksheet and I've set it up to show as much data as possible
in
this application. I am having a small problem with building the lists.
Each
combobox has a linkedcell associated with it. I have several list with
values like 100%, 110%, 120%, etc. and when the end user picks a value the
linkedcell ends up with '100%, '110%, etc. as text instead of an integer
or
percentage value. I have setup the linkedcell with the correct format but
still it ends up with a text value. Anyone know how to direct Excel to
make
the value picked as a integer or percentage value? BTW, the reason for
the
combobox is that validate data lists have the fonts way too small and
there
is not a way to control the font size.

Sincerely,
