Hi Sidney,

if the cells are formated as percent, you can use an auxiliar column
formated as general and use =a2*100 (assuming the A column has the % figures)

I am doing an assignment for management accounting and the lecturer has
deliberatly put errrors in the template he provided.
One of those errors is that the % sign comes up in cells where it is not
needed.
I have tried using the % icon to remove it and go into the cell and delete
everything that is there but when I go to enter data again it puts the % sign
back in.
