Default Percentages in Excel

I have a worksheet in excel where a single column which can be up to 1000
lines long contains a mixture of numbers and percentages. Depending on
whether the figure in the column is a number or a percentage, I need to
multiply the figure by either 1 or 100. Sounds simple, but I cant find any
way to make excel recognise is it a real number, or is it a percentage. You
dont seem to be able to look for the % sign, cant use ISNUMBER because both
are seen as numbers. Can anyone help please, I am getting deperate
