Hi venkadesan, Assuming that the Name column is now a factor (and the data set is a data frame named "mydata"), try:
mydata$Name<-as.character(mydata$Name) If you mean that you want to display column A with percentage signs: paste(mydata$A,"%",sep="") You can use the "format" function to display the final three columns with thousand separators: format(mydata$B,big.mark=",") Note that the result will be a character variable, not a number.
