bunch of rates, an example of one would be 6.875. I need to have

Problem is that I'm a complete noob at excel when it comes to advance
things like this. What I was told to do was very specific, that being
field that someone could enter a value, hit submit or enter, and the
have the new value flooded into the spreadsheet

How about something like this:

Sub RunAdjProcess()
AdjRange Range("YourNamedRange"), 0.075
End Sub

Sub AdjRange(TargetRng As Range, AdjVal As Double)
Dim C As Range
Dim CurrentFormula As String
For Each C In TargetRng
If IsEmpty(C) = False Then
If IsNumeric(C.Value) Then
If C.HasFormula Then
CurrentFormula = C.Formula
C.Formula = "=(" & Mid(CurrentFormula, 2, 500) _
& ")+" & CStr(AdjVal)
Else
C.Value = C.Value + AdjVal
End If
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

You could trigger this to run via a button or perhaps the
Worksheet_Change event within the worksheet object. Didn't test this
much, but should work for most scenarios. Note, it appends to any
formula that may be in the range of values your adjusting. Otherwise
it could be much simplier.

Where do I put this code

One way:

I'm gonna use A1 as my cell to hold that +/- value.
Find another cell (any unused cell) and put this formula:
=$a$1

Now select your range that should react to this cell. As big as you want!

Edit|paste special|and check Add.

Notice that all your formulas now have +($a$1) after them. And all the values
have changed to formulas that include +($a$1) at the end.

Now go back and wipe out that helper cell (the one with the formula =$a$1)

I kind of understand that, but how do I put a formula in to work in th
background? I don't just put it in the cell as data, do I
