Calculating percentage throughout a column
Hello,
I am a novice Excel user trying to tackle the following problem - I have a spreadsheet with about 1500 rows of prices all situated in one column. I would like to apply a certain markup percentage to each item. Is there a formula or some other technique I can use to apply this arbitrary percent (say 20%) to the price column without having to do it line by line? Thanks, Jonny |

Jonny,
Enter 0.20 in some empty cell and copy that. Then select the cells you wish to change. Go to the Edit menu, choose Paste Special, and use the Multiply option. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Memphis Slim" wrote in message oups.com...

I think he meant markup chip
in that case he would want to multiply by 1.20 not 0.20 otherwise he will get a reduction in price. ben "Chip Pearson" wrote: Jonny, Enter 0.20 in some empty cell and copy that.
