Syntax

TO_PERCENT(value)

• value - The argument or reference to a cell to be converted to a percentage.

  • If value is a number or a reference to a cell containing a numeric value, TO_PERCENT returns value converted to a percentage, with the standard interpretation that 1 = 100%.

  • If value is not a number or a reference to a cell containing a numeric value, TO_PERCENT returns value without modification.

Notes

• Because dates and percentages are both numbers, TO_PERCENT will convert dates to percentages successfully. However, these conversions are not typically meaningful.

• TO_PERCENT is equivalent to clicking Format  Number Percent from the menu bar.
