Pretty easy to do this across multiple cells, without having to add '%' to each individually.

Select all the cells you want to change to percent, right Click, then format Cells, choose Custom. Type in 0.0\%.

Here s a simple way   NUMBERVALUE  CONCAT 5 66  quot   quot      Just concatenate a   symbol after the number  By itself  this output would be text  so we also tuck the CONCAT function inside the NUMBERVALUE function  p s   in old excel  you might need to type the full word  quot CONCATENATE quot

Be aware that a value of 1 equals 100  in Excel s interpretation  If you enter 5 66 and you want to show 5 66   then AxGryndr s hack with the formatting will work  but it is a display format only and does not represent the true numeric value  If you want to use that percentage in further calculations  these calculations will return the wrong result unless you divide by 100 at calculation time    The consistent and less error-prone way is to enter 0 0566 and format the number with the built-in percentage format  That way  you can easily calculate 5 6  of A1 by just multiplying A1 with the value   The good news is that you don t need to go through the rigmarole of entering 0 0566 and then formatting as percent  You can simply type  5 66    into the cell  including the percentage symbol  and Excel will take care of the rest and store the number correctly as 0 0566 if formatted as General

You just have to change to a Custom format - right click and select format and at the bottom of the list is custom    0 00      Red  0 00        The first part of custom format is your defined format you posted  Everything after the semicolon is for negative numbers   RED  tells Excel to make the negative numbers red and the    make sure that negative number is in parentheses
