Formatting a cell to a percentage in PHPExcel

Question

I am automating an excel spreadsheet using PHP.

I have been looking for a way to pragmatically format a cell to a percentage in PHPExcel.

I want to change a value like

0.077922078

to

8%

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.

assuming your cell is A1 ..

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')
    ->getNumberFormat()->applyFromArray( 
        array( 
            'code' => PHPExcel_Style_NumberFormat::FORMAT_PERCENTAGE_00
        )
    );
