There are different formats available, such as General, Currency, Percentage, Scientific, Accounting and Fraction. You can apply them through buttons on the ribbons or toolbars, by going to the Format Cells dialog box and by shortcut keys. For example Ctrl - Shift - 5 will put them into Percentage format and Ctrl - Shift - 4 will put them into Currency format.
