Details

The PERCENTw.d format multiplies values by 100, formats them the same as the BESTw.d format, and adds a percent sign (%) to the end of the formatted value, while it encloses negative values in parentheses. The PERCENTw.d format allows room for a percent sign and parentheses, even if the value is not negative.
