Hi everyone. Ok I have a little dilemma.

My company has a 36 page pricelist with a list of about 40 or more
prices/page. In 2007 we are applying a 7% increase in all prices. With the
use of a function I created an additional column that has the 7% increase.
Now I want to cut and paste that column where the other price column was
before, but when I try to do that all I get is ###### because the old price
column is being used in the function that calculates the new price column.
This is the only way I know how to increase by a percent.

QUESTION: Is there a way to increase a given value by a percent without
having to add columns? The way I been doing it is =C11*(1+F11) where C11 is
the amount and F11 is 7% (the increase).

in an empty cell enter 1.07
copy that cell
select all the cells you want to change
paste special multiply

Hi bj.
Thank you. This works also BUT I'm sending this to our retailers and I
don't want them to know the exact % of increase I just want them to see the
new prices. Because I was just told some prices are increasing while others
are not. Can I increase the entire price column by 7% without having to add
an additional cell. I've tried doing =76.99*(1+0.07%) in the actual price
cell (where 76.99 is the amount to be increased). But by doing it that way I
have to do each price cell individually and Im trying to avoid that. Can you
help me, please?

After the Paste SpecialMultiplyOKEsc just delete the cell with the 1.07

The prices will have all been changed by 7% increase but retailers won't know
original prices.
