Hi,

If I say clearly then this is not possible to change the "Hour Worked"
value in percentage in the same column.

The reason is that when a value is changed to percent what will
converted to a fraction.

Date             User   Hours Worked     Hours Worked % 
16-Jul   ABC    8                             33.3%     = 0.333333333333333
16-Jul   ABC    8                             33.3%     = 0.333333333333333
16-Jul   XYZ           12                            100.0%     = 1
17-Jul   ABC    8                             33.3%     = 0.333333333333333


Now if the "Hour worked" value of 8 converted to 0.3333333. And you
Enter new data in next row 8 for ABC then it will compared to
0.33333333 not with 8, because 8 had been already changed to
0.333333333333 hence will give a wrong value for percentage.

So you have to store the Hour worked value for correct percentage. See
the attached file for the same.


Thanks & Regards
Sandeep
