Hi all

In cell AG9 I have a simple formula to work out a percentage value from two numbers in other cells.

so cell AG9 holds the formula =K14/500 and then cell AG9 if formatted as a PERCENTAGE, the result showing (with no decimal points) as 10


is there a formula to then show this result as a general number and not a percentage in another cell

so in cell AG10 the number 10 will be displayed and formatted as GENERAL


hope this make sense and thanks in advance
