Hi,

In the attachment I have a column of percentages with 2 decimal places.
I want to create a situation - that looks like column C
That will appear with different decimal places in the 3 different numbers -1.5% 2% (and not 2.0%) 0.25%
How can this be done? Is this a specific definition within the cell design pane?

Hi Lea,

Use custom number format:

0.##%

More on custom number formats here.

Hi
I have set the template 0.##% here in the file
My problem is that you get an unnecessary point after the 2nd - 2.%

What's the solution?

Thanks!!

Hi Lea,

You can use Conditional Formatting to switch the formats for percentages without decimal places. See file attached.
