Thanks for all the responses but they unfortunately still don't resolve my
problem. While this works fine when modifying Excel manually on the
worksheet, I need to be able to do it with the use of code which so far I
have been unable to do.

The code I tried was
xlApp.Application.Range(A8:H38) = xlApp.Application.Range(Cells(8, 8),
Cells(36, 8)).Value *24

Also the range to be changed is not actually A8:H36 - it is A8 to end of
file as all the worksheets are of different length with differing amounts of
rows. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong guys?

Multiply by 24 and format as General.

Hi

You can multiply in this way the value in single cell. To do so with a
range, you or cycle through cells in range, and multiply every cell value
with 24 separately, or you use an VBA equivalent for a technique, where you
copy some cell with value 24 in it, and then use PasteSpecialMultiply on a
range with time values.
