    Format changes (from % to decimal) when cell is used in a formula

    Please see below. C1 is created using the following formula: C1 = A1&" "&"("&B1&")"

    Within C, how can I retain the percentage format?

    A1 = 336
    B1 = 23.9%
    C1 (desired result) = 336 (23.9%)
    C1 (actual result) = 336 (0.238636363636364)

    Thank you!!

    =A1&" "&"("&TEXT(B1,"00.0%"&")")
