Default Multiplying a column of data by a constant

Put 1.1 in a spare cell and COPY this cell.

Highlight your column, then do Paste Special =[Operation]==Multiply

Delete 1.1 from your "working" cell

I am budgeting costs for the upcoming year. There is a column of data that
corresponds to the employee's health insurance cost that is keyed in data
(not a formula). I want to multiply each cell in this column by 1.1 to
project a 10% increase in cost. Is there quick way to do this without
creating a new column and pasting over the original?
