Default Multiplying cell values

I have an area of cells that contain either numerical values or text.

I need to divide every numerical cells value with a certain constant, but i
don't know how it can be done fast.

I also need simple a way to select just the cells containing numerical
values out of the whole area that also contains the text filled cells.

Thanks,

Kalanen

Hi Kalanen,

I need to divide every numerical cells value with a certain constant, but i
don't know how it can be done fast.


Enter number in empty cell, copy, select target area, paste special, select
proper operation. Text is ignored.

I also need simple a way to select just the cells containing numerical
values out of the whole area that also contains the text filled cells.


F5 (Edit, goto or control-g), special, Values, tick proper box(es).

Hi

In a blank cell enter your constant. Copy that cell.
Mark the complete range of data containing the values you wish to
divide, including all the text cellsPaste SpecialDivide.
