trouble formatting percentages
Hello, I am having a tough time getting a document to display
percentages correctly. For example, I want a percentage to show up as "20%" but for whatever reason, when I type in "20" into the cell it automatically kicks back 2000%. I have cleared formats several times, and have my format set on "Percentage, 0 decimal places." Any idea what I am doing wrong? |
