Use "%". Similarly for euros, dollars or and text you want to show as ordinary text. The quotes are removed in the equation and the % displays as you expect. -- JDL
This not work with me. I think that % is used as a control character and when I used it alone nothing is happen and using %% is act as a comment. But I had a solution, create a symbol %percent using Tools/Catalog. Thank you Thadeu On Sunday 04 September 2005 12:13, John D Lamb wrote:

What does a "%" do in any equation?
Usually (based on usage in the C programming language that most of linuxdom draws from) it means modulo. e.g. 10%3 == 1 In oocalc it simply means percent. e.g. if you have an equation A1+B1%, where A1 is 2 and B1 is 37, it evaluates to 237%

It's used in openoffice formulas to indicate special characters (a bit like \ in LaTeX): for example, %mu and %sigma give Greek letters. A % on its own won't do anything. That's why you have to out it as "%" if you want to use it literally. -- JDL
