Adding a percentage sign to a number field in Excel


We have an Excel file that has a column Percentage. This column contains numbers and as such is capable of sorting from large to small and reverse. The only thing missing is that it's not displaying a percentage sign after the number.

What we have is this:

It would be great if it could show the following and still be able to sort from small to big:

114,87 %
50 %
81 %
91 %

Whatever I try in the formatting option Custom, I always end up with trailing zero's or changed values.
