Thanks Shane.

Missed the "merged" part.

Hi,

There is a problem with Gord's suggestion because you said there are merged
cells. If you enter 1.03 in a cell and highlight a range that contains
merged cell and try the Edit, Paste Special, Multiply trick, all the merged
cells will become unmerged and 0 will appear in the all "extra" cells of the
merged cell. Depending on how many cells are merged and how this can become
rather ugly.

However, here is a VBA approach which should do what you need. Just select
the cells, merged, text or numbers and run it.

Sub IncreasePercent()
Dim cell as Range
Dim myPercent as Double
myPercent = InputBox("Enter the percent to increase: for 1% enter 1")
For Each cell In Selection
If IsNumeric(cell) And cell < "" Then
cell.Value = cell * (1 + myPercent / 100)
End If
Next cell
End Sub
