Hey guys, i want to know if there is a way to do something like this

I have a columns of numbers, and i want to display a percentage behind the
value in the same cell
like this..

45 (40%)
45 (48%)

Is there a code ic an put behind the value that will display the percentage?

Thanks,

Not in the same cell
If you have the no in A1 and percentage in B then you can have
=A1 & "(" & B1 & ")"
in C1

Probably. But a percentage of what? What is it based on?

You can concatenate multiple functions together like so:

=FunctionOne&" ("&PercentageFunction&")"

The downside is that this is now a text value, so can not be used in further
calculations. (unless you convert it back using some method)

Hi,

It would have helped to know how your numbers are derived but this may get
you going along the right lines. Put 100 in A1 and then this formula in a cell

=A1*0.45&" ("& TEXT(A1/100*0.45,"0.00%")&" )"

Let me make this more clear, sorry.

there are a total of 100 sqaures and circles

Circles 56 (56%)
Squares 54 (54%)

can i write a code behind the value, that will basically display 56/100, or
54/100 as a percentage?

thanks

Hi

How about formatting the cells as percentage?
Right click on the target cells
Select Format Cells
Choose Percentage under Category in Number tab
Scroll down to 0 using the arrow down in Decimal

You can still do calculation using this and the results in the select cells
will be generated as percentage automatically

I suggest that you put an equal sign, = , in the cells where you need
percentage and format as I have mentioned earlier.

This way, you will have original numbers display without % and another with %
If you need them to be in the same cell, then try
=B2&" "&"("&B2&"%"&")" which will give you 56 (56%).
copy, paste special, value to the cells location and delete the cells with
formula
but take note that this is a text and can't be use for calculation.

Try this:

In B1: =A1&TEXT(A1/100," (0%)")

Still doesn't give OP what he asked for in the sample shown originally.

45 (40%)
45 (48%)

45 is 40% of 113 or 48% of 94

I would suggest a formula in B1 like =A1&TEXT(A1/C1," (0%)")

Where C1 is a number like 113 or 94
