In a blank cell, enter 1000
Copy this cell
Select the range of numbers to be fixed
Use Edit | Paste Special with Divide specified
Now delete the cell with 1000
Done!
best wishes

Choose an empty cell somewhere and put 1000 in that cell. Select the
cell and click <copy, then move your cursor to highlight your 120
cells in the other column, right-click and select Paste Special |
Values (check) | Divide (check) | OK then <Esc.

Then you can delete the cell containing the original 1000.

Hope this helps.
