hi
I have converted a datata table to excel using closed xml and I have a column for calculating percentage and I did something like this

dt["Percentage"]="p2/f2 *100";

and the resultant is that instead of calculating the formula the text (p2/f2 * 100) is displayed
on the cells what should I do to calculate the percentage formula

In the excel formula, there must be an equals sign:

dt["Percentage"]="=p2/f2 *100";
