Default excel formulas

In some blank cell enter 0.03 (or 3%, as you like)
Copy this cell
Select the row (or column) of numbers to be fixed
Use Edit | Paste Special and put a check in the Multiply box
Now you can delete the 3% in the first cell
best wishes

I am trying to multiply a row of cells by the same number without making an
additional row with the results. For example:
10
10
10
10
10

All multilplied by3%, thus displaying:
.03
.03
.03
.03
.03

Any way to make this happen without creating an additional row? Can I
keep
the original data part of the formula?

Hope this makes sense...THX!
