How do you Calculating percentage in excel that is less than 1?
Your question is a little vague, but it sounds like a display issue. Specifically, it sounds like you have your number display set to show zero digits past the decimal point. Simply select the cell you're interested in reformatting, click on Format/Cells/Number/Percentage and make sure you have it set to display at least one (if not more) decimal digits.
How do you calculate a percentage change in excel if one number is negative?
To find the percentage change, you divide the change from initial to final by the absolute value of the initial value and then multiply by 100%. As an example: if the initial value is in cell A1 and the final value is in cell A2, the formula for percent change would be: =(A2-A1)/ABS(A1). You can EITHER multiply that value by 100 to get the percentage OR format the cell to display the number as a percentage. If the original number is negative and the final number is less (even more negative) - this makes the percentage change negative. If the original number is negative and the final number still negative but greater (closer to zero) then this would be an increase even though it would be less negative so the percent change would be positive. If the original number is negative and the final number zero or positive, this would still constitute an increase so the percentage change would be positive. If the initial number was positive and the final number negative, then this would be a pretty obvious decrease and the percentage change would be negative.

When you format a cell to display percentages Excel assumes that whatever you enter into that cell in the future will be a percentage?
Yes. Cells can have formatting applied before data is entered so that when data is entered it can be in the approrpiate format. This is handy in the case of percentages as it allows people to start typing whole numbers in and for those to be made into percentages. So for example, if it is formatted to percentage and you type 5, Excel will automatically put the percentage symbol in after it and treat it as 5%. However if you type 5 into a cell and then format it to percentage, it will become 500%, which is correct, so people have to remember to type 0.05 if they want it to be 5% after it is then formatted.
