I have an Excel 2k spreadsheet with product numbers &
product descriptions & product pricing. Periodically I
need to change prices of 300 products by a certain
percentage all at once. What would be the best way to do
this? What I would like to do is have something promtp me
for a portion of the product number or product description
and then prompt me for the percentage the product needs to
be marked up or decreased by then is changes all the
prices for me.
Will Excel even do this?
Thanks for any help you can lend this struggling sales
person.

put your percentage ie: 1.0456 in a cellcopy that cellselect the range to
changeeditpastespecialmultiply.
record a macro to do this and then clean it up.

You'll have to forgive my Excel ignorance. When I follow
your instructions it changes my price to what the
percentage mark up would be instead of what the new price
would be. Also how would I do this if I wanted to
decrease a price?

.

the current price is 1 and I want to increase it by 4.56%, I would multiply
it by 1.0456 as Don showed. That should give you the new price. To get the
markup you would multiply it by .0456.
