Applying a Percentage Format to Table Cells

value that displays as 3.00% is used as 0.03 in a formula.

If you type 3% in a cell formatted using the automatic format and then apply the
percentage format to the cell, the value displayed is 3%. However, if you type 3 in a cell
formatted using the automatic format and then apply the percentage format to the
cell, the value displayed is 300%.
