Okay, so I figured out how to increase one number by a percentage but i want
to increase all the numbers in a column by 5%. I was told that there is a way
to change the whole column instead of increasing them one by one. Can
someone help me?

Hi,

Put 1.05 in a cell somewhere and select the cell and copy it.

Select the numbers to multiplt and then

Edit|paste special - select multiply and Ok

Delete the cell wih 1.05 in

You'll need to use the Roundup function. Something like:

=roundup(a1,2)

Or, if you want to put both steps together:

=roundup(a1*1.05,2)
