    that would be because its text your regional settings do not match . as thousands separator and , for decimals
    you cold try
    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",""),",",".")*0.2

    Hi FDibbins,

    Thank you for the help. I appreciate it. formula worked well for 20% but when I assigned few columns are 27% some others are 35%.
    cell is not accepting .27 or .35

    what are your regional settings in control pan/region
    if a column is in % then select column data /text to columns click finish
