Custom formating
hi,
is that possible to format the numbers w/o % sign, i.e, the number .4 would appear as 40 and not as 40%? Thanks -- ______ Regards, Greg |

Custom formating
Without the symbol, wouldn't that be confusing/deceptive?
An alternative would be to use fixed decimal when inputting the number (Tools - Options - Edit) or to have a helper cell multiply by 10. -- Best Regards, Luke M "Greg" wrote in message ... hi, is that possible to format the numbers w/o % sign, i.e, the number .4 would appear as 40 and not as 40%?

Custom formating
I agree, but that's not my call unfortunately.
Applying fixed decimal does not work - it converts 200 into 2, when using 2 places. again, i need a per cent to appear as it multiplied by 100. so the cell value contains: 0.4 and looks like 40.

Multiply by 100. You can't do it by formatting, as 40 is not the same
number as 0.4. -- David Biddulph "Greg" wrote in message ... hi, is that possible to format the numbers w/o % sign, i.e, the number .4 would appear as 40 and not as 40%? Thanks -- ______ Regards, Greg |
