Is there a way to format a number of the form 0.### so that it appears as ##.# without the percent sign, without physically changing the value in the cell, (by multiplying by 100 for example).
When we publish tables, we put all of the units at the top of the table column. For example, assume the table shows production and revenue of four products. It has weight shown in thousands of pounds, revenue (shown as thousands of dollars and the percent of total revenue shown as a percent. In general we use custom number formats, but for the percentage we physically multiply by 100. I very much dislike changing the value of the number in order to format it.
Again we always note the units--percent--in the column header.
