    refer to a cell as text in a reference (percentage)

    Hi all

    I want to reference a cell (title) to another cell h8 which contains 60%

    I use the formulae "widgets below"& h8 - however it comes out as "widgets below 0.6". How do I change the 0.6 to 60%?

    Try this:

    ="widgets below"&H8*100&"%"

    ="widgets below "&TEXT(J1,"00%")

    No rep for me - obviously not good enough.

    LOL! It's up to the OP, of course. Just being a bit flippant, since I am often accused of being too serious.

    That’s kind, but honestly not necessary. I was having a bit of fun.
