Can Numbers be programmed to determine between a percentage and a plain number?
I have an invoicing spreadsheet I work with. Sometimes price is determined by a percentage over cost, sometimes it's just a straight number. I have the following setup:
Our cost | Percentage | Cost to customer |
---|---|---|
number | percentage | Our cost x percentage |
100 | 15% | 115 |
200 | 225 | 225 |
I would like the 'cost to customer' column to recognize whether the number in the percentage column is actually a percentage or if it's a number without a % symbol in that cell, so when I don't want to calculate cost by percentage, I can just enter a straight number there and have that amount entered in the 'cost to customer' cell (as illustrated above). Is that possible? Thanks for your help!
