Solution 1

In your workflow you will need to use the Derived Column object. In there you would select the excel column (the percentage one) and then "derive" a new column. This column can have an expression in it and you can do your multiplication there!

What is your expression and what is the datatype?

column name 'traffic%' datatype double-precision float....
i write expression in derived column as([traffic%]==[traffic%]*100)
my table column has datatype as 'numaric'
it gives all values as '-1.000000000'

I don't understand the [traffic%]==[traffic%]???? Should you not do [traffic%] * 100????
