It means that your reaction is extremely efficient, that your product is stable and that there are no side products. Your lab skills are also very good.
However, if you're an undergrad, you likely haven't checked the purity of this. It is likely to be contaminated with some of the excess starting material, catalyst, or side products

If you calculated a percentage yield of 100 percent what does this mean?
You did something wrong in your calculation or you have some impurity. You never get 100% yield.
What is the Formula for percentage yield?
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
What is the percent yield of 122 grams of product?
If this is the actual yield, real amount produced, then you need the theoretical yield to find the percent yield. % yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100
What would cause a percent yield to be over 100 percent?
Impurities in the substance can cause a greater percent yield. I recommend redoing the lab for better results.
Why can the percent yield exceed to 100 percent?
because 100 percent is the total or the whole and we cant exceed that because in other words it is everything
