Lynda,

Put 100 in an empty cell and copy that cell. Select all your percentages and
then

Edit|Paste Special|Multiplt and click OK.
Delete the cell with 100 in

I have a number of very large spreadsheets all with percentages. I want to
change the cells from % to whole numbers. I did this the other day and it was
obviously something very simple (for me it has to be simple) but for some
reason I have gone completely brain dead and can't remember what I did.

My example is, say 12%.
When I change it to the number format I get 0.12. Obviously if I take away
the 2 decimal places I end up with 0. I want to end up with the number
displayed as 12.

Thanks in advance.
