In addition to adding a number format, you'll have to do some math to divide
by 100.

Yes, of course I already knew that.

Rather, I want to enter 8.7 and have

the cell show 8.7%.

how do I accomplish that ?

Darryl was telling us:
Darryl nous racontait que :

Greetings,
I have a table in my word document. One of the cells is numeric in
format. I have set the number format
to 0.00%. The problem is when I enter 8.7 it converts it to 870%.
I want it to be 8.7%.

How do I do this ? Do I have to create a macro that mathematically
converts it ?

Enter
.087
instead.
