Percentage value shown in thousands upon progress calculation based on dates

Hi Folks,

I have a simple dilemma that I can't get resolved.

I want to calculate progress in percentages in Excel with a given start date and end date so that no progress shows as 0% and the complete progress shows max 100%.
What I get in the output is the percentage in thousands.

I have tried almost any solution offered by Google and ChatGPT, I changed Excel formula settings, tried different MIN/MAX combinations, cell formatting, etc.
Nothing helped.

This was not the case in my Excel, I used to get normal percentage values, not sure what happened.

Latest formula used:

=IF(TODAY() < A2, 0, IF(TODAY() > C2, 100, MIN((TODAY() - A2) / (C2 - A2) * 100, 100)))

• The example worksheet attached

Any advice is appreciated.
