Hi, this is such a great article on how to format numbers to display as percentages. I often use excel and there is so much you can do with it, your videos are very informative and have helped me solve a problem in a simple manner. I look forward to watching your other video too.
Thank you Kay, and you’re very welcome. Many more lessons are available here on our site and our YouTube channel. Happy to hear I have helped solve one of your problems. Feel free to share what it was, if you want 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
I can really appreciate how thorough you are with your teachings in these lessons. It’s obvious you are most familiar with Excel and all it has to offer. I am going to forward your site on to my son. He’s going to school for Accounting and I think he would benefit by having it. Thank you so much!
Thank you Teresa. Yes, your son will benefit a lot as Accountancy and Excel go hand in hand. Also inform him of our YouTube channel, which is dedicated to my ICT lessons 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)

It’s clear that you’re having a deep understanding of this program, and talent to pass the information further.
Keep up the good work, and I’ll definitely recommend your website to my friends.
Best Wishes,

Thank you Natalie for the beautiful comment. Please pass it onto everybody that will benefit from my free lessons 🙂

Habib,
That was a great step-by-step process on how to do percentages with Excel! It was easy to follow and I could replicate it with ease. That’s the most important part, right? Great teaching, and simple to follow. Thank you!
Yes Robert, being able to follow my lessons and implement what you learn is a very important factor, which I always factor in, otherwise it will be a complete waste of time. This is something I’m very aware of too, as I’m a qualified ICT tutor 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
Always delivers spectacular excel tutorial. I love how you explained the concept, very detailed and in a perfect pace that anyone can understand.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
You’re very welcome Benson 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
Hi there.
Interesting videos.
A few years back I really needed someone to explain to me how to work in excel. At the time, at my workplace I really need it. But I had to learn by myself as the courses at the time was very expensive. I am not an expert, but I can tell that many things you explain in your videos I did not know.
The videos are really easy to follow and you explain very well.
Well done
My lessons I’m offering here for FREE would normally cost hundreds of pounds. But I believe in giving free education where possible, especially in this time of need where a lot of people are out of a job due to Covid 19. I hope I can make a difference to all my visitors to my site and YouTube channel. Take care Oana 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
You keep on spoiling us with these excel tutorials! This time another very good lesson about formatting numbers to display as percentages.
Thanks for making it so clear!
I’m going to spoil you and all our visitors and give them good quality contents, so you and everybody always feels you take something from our site always – never go empty handed 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
OMG! Amazing video. Thanks for this. Looks like I will be visiting your site often to learn.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you Chigs. You’re very welcome to come back to our site as often as you want – the more the merrier 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
Hi Habib,
Great pace in your video lesson, it’s good for those who are totally new to Excel. Teaching people to nail down the basics really helps.
Keep it up!
Cheers.
SAM
Hi Sam, thank you for the comment. It depends what you call basics, for a lot of people my lessons would be advanced, but to others it may be basic as they already have a foundation of Excel. Kindly pass on the word to everybody of my FREE lessons 🙂 Thank you
Habib (ICT tutor)
Thanks for another excel tutorial. It was very easy to follow along. Looking forward to see your next post.
Thank you Ladia. There are few more lessons for you to complete, which you can do here on our website or over on our YouTube channel 🙂
Habib Ali (ICT Tutor)
I really appreciate your videos. They are so easy to follow along with and you make using excel much easier for me to understand.
I am looking forward to learning more from your videos.
I am needing to learn how to convert measurements in to 16ths. Like if I had a measurement of 14 inches and 7/8 and added 4 inches and a 1/4 to it. How would I get excel to display 19 inches and 3/16?
Thanks
Hi Greg, thank you for your feedback. Now to answer your question, you will need to use a “=CONVERT” function. I will put this on my list to do for my video lessons and will create a lesson for you. So please watch out for that. Take care
Habib (ICT tutor)
Thanks a lot for another imformative tutorial. I always used to struggle when working with excel. Not anymore because your tutorials are expained always so clearly.
Thank you Olga, it is my pleasure 🙂
Habib (ICT tutor)
Omgoodness! I LOVE your lessons! I am terrible with Math in general and you break everything down so well! I would have said I was terrible at Excel, but after your lessons I am definitely much better! I have actually started tracking my business reports on my own instead of having to hire out! Thank you SSSSSOOOOO much!!!!!!
You’re very welcome Brianna – there is so much you can do on your own, you don’t need to be hiring people out and pay-out big bucks. Carry on watching my tutorials and you have learnt a wealth of knowledge. Don’t forget to bookmark our site and subscribe to our YouTube channel 🙂

Another great tutorial Habib on how to format numbers to display as percentages.
I always find your style of teaching really simplifies it without being patronising.
Thanks for the help.
Thank you Amy – I do get quite a lot of compliments on my teaching style. My students, current and past have always highlighted this in my classes and also at the end of the course evaluation feedback forms we give them – so thank you for recognising this too 🙂
