I have a spreadsheet loaded with rates. If I need to change all the rates by
a specific amount, what should I use.. I tried a formula and found that I
couldn't get away from circular...

Example: Rate this week is 1.25 - Need to be raised .05 for the week...
result is 1.30. The following week the rate needs to be lowered by .05...
result is 1.25.

I have approximately 40 rates on one sheet and this kind of change can
happen across the board. (all 40 raised and/or lowered the same amount) -
does this need to be a macro - if so, how would I tell the macro to make the
specific amount change?

any expert advise would be appreciated!!!!!
thanks
