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.

Jim
