Hi
I am using Excel to calculate student results. The first screenshot shows an example of the data that I am using. Cell G3 contains the total marks available and cells G6:G9 contain the marks achieved. In cell H6 I have generate a formula to work out the percentage =G6/$G3. I then format this to a percentage style of 0 decimal place. When I use this as a data source in Word, it then displays the results as numbers, eg 92% becomes 0.92 or even 0.666666673. I can get around the problem but using this function =ROUND(G6/$G$3*100,0) and simply inserting the % sign into the Word document but I feel there must be a better way of doing this. I have also tried using Paste Special to replace the formula with values but this is not ideal as the result sometimes change so I need to remember to fix it all up.
If anyone can come up with a really good fix for this problem I would be most grateful.
