Default % on numbers - (easy question probably)

Good afternoon,

This is probably an easy question, but I have a pretty big sheet with numbers
that were imported (i.e. 22.61). I want all these numbers to be converted to
a % but i need the percentage to be after the number (i.e 22.61%). When I use
the format cells and put percentage it brings the number to 2261.00%.

Is there any way around this.

Thank you again

I don't want to have to press F2 and a % after each number (because there are
tons of numbers) ..
Is there any way around this.

in an empty cell enter 0.01 and copy
select all the numbers you want to convert and paste special multiply
format-cells-number-percent and select 2 decimal places.
