If the celltype is double (or decimal), then you can use the P format to display a decimal.

style.CellValueType = typeof(double);
style.Format = "P";

But this formatting accepts a number like .05 and displays iy a 5%. A 5 would be 500%. (It multiplies the values by 100). Here is forum thread with a sample. http://www.syncfusion.com/Support/Forums/message.aspx?MessageID=16888

If you have numbers like 5 and want them displyed like 5% (instead of 500%), then you should handle the QueryCellFormattedText event and add the % there. You would also want to handle the SaveCellFormattedText to strip the % sign back out.

You would handle this case using QueryCellFormattedText and SaveCellFormattedText as mentioned in my previous post. Here is a sample.
