J J.E. McGimpsey Sep 27, 2003 #4 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.
