Default how to get actual percentage format instead of 100 multiplied

If you have the number 12 in a cell, and format it as a percentage, then
1200% is correct. It will show as 12% if you put in the number as 12% or as
0.12.

If you have a lot of numbers already entered wrongly and you want to divide
them all by 100, enter 100 in a spare cell, copy it, select your range of
cells, and then Edit/ Paste Special/ Divide.

Hi all..

In excel I am have a simple problem with % number format.
If a number assigned to % symbol it is multiplied with 100 and giving %
symbol.
For example if we assign % symbol to 12, it shows 1200%. But I need it
only 12%.

I am usually works with comparison with percentages. If I apply % symbol
to

Multiplied by hundred and % symbol..

Plz help me in this problem..
