% formula

[darkrider]

does anyone know what formula i have to use to workout a percentage

[TrippyTom]

If you mean number format, it would be either:
0% or 0\% (depending if you want literal or not)

[Bob Phillips]

The number divided by 100

or one cell divided by another

or ... more details

[johnske]

A/B*100 or, A/B and format the cell as percentage

[Cyberdude]

I usually use A/B-1, then format it as a %.
Also you can use the Text function to format it for you:

=Text(A/B-1,"0.0%")
