Default URGENT - percentage calculation

Why don't you just change 250 to 270?

Otherwise, it's hard for me to understand what you're trying to do. XL
doesn't "think" 250 is 90% or any other percentage of 300 - it just
calculates values.

Hi,

Example:
I would like to make $250, 90% of $300. This will not make sense to alot of
you because as a percentage - $250 is not 90% of $300, but I am trying to
test a formula in excel that I have been working on.

Is there someway or formula in excel which will allow me to make, or let
excel think that $250 really is 90% of $300?

Thanks
