If you want to format the number to percentage to where this number is alone
in this cell (with no text), then you use:

Select the cells where the values are Format Cells Percentage
[adjust decimal paces] OK


If there is text, then you would use:

Assuming A1 has the percentage value say 25%

="Our profit has increased for "&TEXT(A1,"0%") & " since last June"

This should show "Our profit has increased for 25% since last June"
