OK-
I have a column of test grades and what I want to do is add 4 to each
grade
in the column. So, for instance if I have the number 80 in U5, I want to
be
able to say U5+4 and have it return the number 84. Then I want to copy the
function to the entire column.

Hi Tricia,

I think you'll have to elaborate quite a bit more on what you're trying
to
achieve, if you want to get any help.

Kind regards,
