How do I increase a column of numbers by a percentage-same cell
I have a business (Fence chainlink etc.) that uses price pages for our sales
personel and when we have a price increase I usually use a calculator and say it is a 10% increase from our supplier figure each number and type in the new price. With hundreds of items in 36 pages, this takes days to complete. I have been trying to find a formula in Excel to increase an entire column with a formula to change each price by say 10% or whatever percent the increase is. I can use formulas that work but I always have to use another column to show the increase. How can I do this to just change the number in the same cell and copy down an entire column? Then I just print the new pages with the new date. -- dc |

Try this:
In a blank cell, enter 110% Copy that cell Select the range of cells to be increased by the 10%. From the Excel main menu: <edit<paste special Check: Multiply Click the [OK] button...done! Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "dcasdos" wrote: I have a business (Fence chainlink etc.) that uses price pages for our sales personel and when we have a price increase I usually use a calculator and say it is a 10% increase from our supplier figure each number and type in the new price.

Actually, you also need to check Values in the Paste Special window or all of
the prices will become percents. This way: <edit<paste special Check: Multiply Check: Values Click the [OK] button (Sorry for skipping that step in my first post.) *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Ron Coderre" wrote: Try this: In a blank cell, enter 110% Copy that cell Select the range of cells to be increased by the 10%.
