    Percentage keeps showing 99 infront of it

    More problems again...

    when ever i try to do a percentage sum it puts 99 infront of it. e.g

    .........A.................B
    5| Month...........| January
    6| Scheduled......| 100
    7| Arrived..........| 25
    8| Not Arrived....| 75
    9| Percent.........| 9925.00%

    the sum i am doing is =SUM(B6-B8%), this is so i can see the percentage of people turning up. really bugging me.

    G'day

    Try this,


    =(B6-B8)/100

    and format the cell as a percentage to show the % symbol

    hi wbleamas,

    don't add the percent sign in the formula, the cell is formatted as a percentage.
