Add formula to a column of numbers
Basic question Im sure.
I have a list of numbers 23456 45677 34567 etc. and I want to use this formula on them. =CEILING(#####,100) How can I easily add the format or formula (what ever it is called) to the whole list eg so the column looks like this. =CEILING(23456,100) =CEILING(45677,100) =CEILING(34567,100) When I put the fomula in the first line and then drag the corner of this cell down , it just copies the first line over the others and does not add the formula to each line. =CEILING(23456,100) =CEILING(23456,100) =CEILING(23456,100) =CEILING(23456,100) Thanks Im sure this is basic. Im using XL 97 Regards |

You put it in B1. No formula can work in a cell as well as the value.

Say your data is in A1:Axxxx
Then put your formula in B1 =ceiling(a1,100) and drag down that column. Excel will adjust that A1 reference to point at the cell in the same row. If you want you can hide Column A or you could select column B edit|copy edit|paste special|values and delete column A. steve wrote: Basic question Im sure.
