Put 100 in an empty cell
Edit copy that cell

Select the range to adjust
edit|paste special|check Divide

And then go back and clean up that cell with 100 in it.

And format that range the way you like.

If you wish 123456 to be actual value of 1234.56.................

Place 100 into an unused cell.

Copy that cell.

Select the column and EditPaste Special(in place)DivideOKEsc

Delete the cell with the 100.

If just for appearance, FormatCellsNumberCustom #"."##
