Hello everybody,

I have a text string in Excel that contains percentage values taken
from different cells.  However, the text string reads the percentage
value and outputs it as a decimal:

Percent defects of 0.678276052493135, 0.674664937815204 and
0.57388331030011.

Here is the code:

="Percent defects of "&N2&", "&N3&" and "&N4&"." (Cells N2, N3 and N4
contain percentages)

I hope I'm not missing a very simple solution here.

Thanks!
Brian

Try this, Brian:

="Percent defects of "&TEXT(N2,"0.0%")&", "&TEXT(N3,"0.0%")&" and
"&TEXT(N4,"0.0%")&"."

Hope this helps.
