    Percentage changes to number in my multiple selection dropdown list when selected first.

    Hello,

    I've copied the code for a multiple selection dropdown list - so now i am able to select more than 1 entry which is separated by commas. My problem, is that one of the values in my list is 100%. When I go the cell to select my items from the dropdown list, I want to be able to select 100% as the first entry. When I do so, it shows up perfectly as I want to see it as 100%, however...when I select the second entry, it changes it to "1". I have played with custom formattting, changing it from percentage to general to text to number - nothing works! Any help would be most appreciated! thank you.

    Hi ajanson,

    Format all the info in your Data Validation list in a Column Somewhere on the Sheet as Text, then manually change the numers you want to show as percentages in your Dropdown as; Manually change 1 to 100%,
    and so on.

    Hi Thank you for your reply, however it is still not working. When I select 100% it shows up there fine, but when I select the second entry, it changes the 100% to 1.

    Here is the code:

    Format the B14 as Text. I think your code will work fine then.
