RE: Excel Charts

Hi Havva,

Do you mean that every time you enter a number and set it as a percentage it comes out 100 times larger. For instance if you enter 10 and convert it to a percentage you end up with 1000%?

If so simply enter the value in to the cell as a decimal fraction. For example if you want 25% first type in 0.25 and then format as a percentage.

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Quickly create a list of numbers

The fill handle in Excel has many uses. If a number is typed into a cell and then the fill handle is used, the number will be copied from one cell to the next.

If you wish to create a list of numbers that increment by one at a time, hold down Ctrl in conjunction with using the fill handle - this should give you a series of numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc) rather than copying a single number.
