I have calculated percentages in a column but they are showing for example 1800% instead of 18%. How do I remove the 2 zeros at the end. I tried decreasing zeros and it will not take them away.

One simple solution could be to divide it by 100

It is taking your percentage as a whole number instead of a percentage.
