do you have excel 2010?

for excel 2010 and i think in other versions it should be similar you just have to right click on the cell -> formating -> numbers -> choose percentage -> on the right you can click and choose the digits e.g 1.

hope it helped

i have excel 2007,

Teargas

in excel 2007 you should have the same command, if you have the standard view you just have in the 2nd line, where you can select your font a bit right something that look like this

<-.0
.00

and

'00
->0

with that buttons you can raise and lower the decimals

i am just using as #mydata# inside the <cfsavecontent>

and then i am am writing this in excel.

on my screen it appears as 0.0% or 154.1%

in excel i want the format to same, but i am not getting it, just guide

Dave Baldwin

You are seeing the 'default formatting' in Excel (and Libreoffice). If you type 154.1% into a cell in Excel and press enter, it will convert it to 154.10%. Unless you can find a way to change the default formatting, you can't change that.

Then Guide me how to fix it

Dave Baldwin

I don't believe you can fix it outside of Excel. CSV and HTML imports are subject to the default formatting rules and those rules can't be changed outside the program. You can't even force it to be text without adding a letter to it.
