i have a farmula to calculate the percentage. i want to get the result
with the percentage sign.It should be something like this.
D2=540 E2=600
F2=PERCENTAGE(D2/E2*100)%
thanks.



The formula in F2 only has to be =D2/E2 and the cell formatted as
percentage.


Format the cell as custom, and enter something like

## %

OR

##.# %


The space and the percent sign are TEXTUAL additions ('concatenations')
after the value gets the #.## or whatever formatting.
