adding percentages to cells
I have no idea how to do this or if it's possible but I've been at this for
hours and am at a loss. I have 15,000 cells in one column that all have to have different percentage mark ups. For instance the entire column is a "wholesale" price. Certain items need to be marked up 50% others 40% and others 75%. All groups are together in the colum so for instance cells 1-280 need to be marked up 50%, cells 281-900 need to be marked up 40%, and cells 901-3400 need to be marked up 75% and so on. How can I highlight the cells and do a simple mark up without having to get a calculator out and calculating what $2 plus 50% mark up is or $15.75 plus 40% mark up is manually? |

adding percentages to cells
Hi,
Do it in several steps and for the first markup of 50% try this. Put 1.5 in a cell and copy it. Select rows 1 to 208 and right click them, click 'paste Special' select 'Multiply' and then OK. Repeat for other markups -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

adding percentages to cells
Ok maybe I kind of didn't make it clear, sorry. for instance cells 1-208
have all different numbers 2, 15.25, 18., 5, 3, 3.75, 6, 19.99, 22.25, 2.5, 2.75) each number represents a price and each of these prices have to be marked up by let's say 40%. Not all of the cells are $2.00. the 208 cells have 208 different prices that need to be marked up 40%. Then cells 209-500 in that colum have all different prices that need to be marked up 75%. So whatever is in that cell needs to be "plus" whatever percent i need it to be. I have no idea how to highlight 208 cells of all different prices and make excel say "add 40%".

Hi,
The answer is the same. say we have these values in a1 to a5 2 3 4.8 8.2 5 I put 1.4 in another cell and copy it. Select these numbers and right click|Paste special|Multiply Ok, the numbers become 2.8 4.2 6.72 11.48 7 i,e all have been marked up by 40% -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

yes! thank you so much.... if it is supposed to be 100% mark up or 110% mark
up what is it multiplied by? would 110% be 2.1? "Mike H" wrote: Hi, The answer is the same. say we have these values in a1 to a5 2 3 4.8 8.2 5 I put 1.4 in another cell and copy it.

If it is easier for you, you can write the formula =1+110% in the helper cell instead of the constant 2.1. Then you edit the percentage figure directly. Note: For mark-down, you would enter the formula =1-10%, for example. ----- original message ----- "autiemomtoo" wrote: yes! thank you so much.... if it is supposed to be 100% mark up or 110% mark up what is it multiplied by? would 110% be 2.1?
