How do you set a validation for percentage amounts. I
want to set up an interest rate less than 8.01%
 
I have tried that, it keeps giving me an input error when
I type in 8..I think it has something to do with my number
format but I don't know
 
8% = 0.08 so if you want to enter percentages, you'll have to either
enter "8%" (without quotes) or "0.08" (without quotes).

If you want to enter an integer instead, set up validation for a
maximum of 8 and divide the cell's value by 100 in your follow-on
calculations.
