1. Key 1.15 into an open cell.
2. Copy that cell.
3. Select the range of prices.
4. Go to Edit Paste Special. Click Multiply. OK

Thanks, but there must be a problem with the formatting.

After copying "1.15" then going to "edit" and "paste special" the menu
doesn't include "muliply".... only "text" and "unicode text"

Is there a remedy for this formatting situation?

If you right click on any empty cell, and choose Paste Special, what do you
get?

Did you use a helper cell on the same worksheet? (just out of the way
somewhere)

It kind of sounds like you used a cell in a different workbook that was open in
a different instance of excel.

Yes I did, I used a cell on the same work book just beneath the column I
wanted to adjust... I tried using different cells as well, but "multiply"
didn't show up in the "paste special" menu

very, very weird

could you try it in a brand new workbook ... type
5 in A1
1.15 in B1 and then copy this cell using control & C
click on A1 and choose edit / paste special / multiply
and let us know what happens

Especially as those options aren't even ON the "normal" paste special menu!

Did you copy the 1.15 from the formula bar or did you copy the cell?

Select your cell with the 1.15 in it and hit edit|copy (or just ctrl-c).

I could get that other dialog if I copied from the formula bar, too (or from a
different instance of excel (or a different application -- like notepad)).

I just today started having the same issue. I would copy a range of
cells with data and formulas to a neighboring range and all the
formulas in the new (copied to range) were gone, being replaced by the
value, but evidently as "Unicode??"

If I select them one cell at a time and copy them and then do a "paste
special" the formulas option shows up, but if I attempt multiple cells
and do "paste special" I get paste as Unicode text or text. What
happened?? Is there an option setting that got altered? I am running
Excel 2000 build (9.0.2812)

any help would be appreciated...
