You should *not* be entering 12. to display 12.00%
You should be using .12
SO ... That tells me that you have "Fixed Decimals" enabled.
Go to:
<Tools> <Options> <Edit> tab,
And *UNCHECK*
"Fixed Decimals"

I tried the formula below and when I enter a percent value such as 12. I
get
12.00% and that's fine, however when I enter a dollar value let's say
130.00
the answer is $1.30   what I'm I doing wrong   thanks

			You can use a custom format for the column, so that you *instantly*
display
your desired format, where sorting is *unnecessary*.

:
Assuming currency is greater or equal to 1 and percent is between .01
and
.99, sort your data by this column of numbers, so that all percent
values
are
grouped together and all currency values are grouped together and
then
apply
the correct formatting to each group.

Hello       I have a column that contains numbers thatr represent
both
percent and  currency.  Presently I formatted the column as
number -
general
Example     0.15 and 68  -   0.15 should read 15.00% and 68 should
read
$68.00. Is there a formula so that I can format the number as
percent
or
as
currency in the same column    thanks
