Excel question about %

parc · 2015-08-10 15:00:34

Hi there I had to paste a % from one sheet to the other. It's in percentage format (ie 25%) but I need to get it to just read 25. The problem is if I make it 'general' or a 'number' then it reads 0.25143 How do I get it to just read 25 Thanks in advance!

Format the cell, change it to number or general and change the number of decimal places to zero.

The right function can be used to give you the two right most digits i.e. '25'

Where A1 = 0.25, use
RIGHT(A1,2)

EDIT: Forget that, you may as well just multiply by 100

Fill the target cells with 100 and then Copy > Paste Special > Multiply
