Default How to write a function for column A = product of two columns, B a

How do I select all the cells in column A to be populated by the result of
the product of all the cells in two other columns, B and C.

In other words:

I would like A1:A10 = PRODUCT (B1:B10, C1:C10). However, the resultant ten
values ends up cell A1, not cells A1:A10.



Best answer (from two posts) was:

Select the range A1:A10 starting from cell A1.

Enter in A1:

=B1:B10*C1:C10

Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER
