Default Negative Percentage

What formatting do I use in order to enter (6.5%) into a cell? I tried number and percentage formatting and it doesn't work. HELP!




Thank you in advance

Percentage with one decimal place means if you enter 6.5, 6.5% is shown. The actual value is 0.065.

Thank you Kenneth, but I need it to be a negative number within parenthesis.

I was wondering what you meant by negative.

You will have to add a custom format. If you want red font if negative and ()'s, and one decimal place.

#,##0.0%;[Red](#,##0.0%)
