You should *not* be entering 12. to display 12.00%
You should be using .12

SO ... That tells me that you have "Fixed Decimals" enabled.

Go to:
<Tools <Options <Edit tab,
And *UNCHECK*
"Fixed Decimals"

I tried the formula below and when I enter a percent value such as 12. I get
12.00% and that's fine, however when I enter a dollar value let's say 130.00
the answer is $1.30 what I'm I doing wrong thanks

You can use a custom format for the column, so that you *instantly*
display
your desired format, where sorting is *unnecessary*.

[<1]0.00%;$#,##0.00

Assuming currency is greater or equal to 1 and percent is between .01
and
.99, sort your data by this column of numbers, so that all percent
values
are
grouped together and all currency values are grouped together and then
apply
the correct formatting to each group.

Hello I have a column that contains numbers thatr represent both
percent and currency. Presently I formatted the column as number -
general
Example 0.15 and 68 - 0.15 should read 15.00% and 68 should
read
$68.00. Is there a formula so that I can format the number as percent
or
as
currency in the same column thanks
