If you have a cell with the value 3, for example, if you copy that cell,
then select a range of cells and use Paste Special/ Multiply, it will
multiply the value in each cell in the selected range by 3.

Use of Paste Special - Operation
 

Deactivate several hyperlinks at once
1.. Type the number 1 in a blank cell, and right-click the cell.
2.. Click Copy on the shortcut menu.
3.. While pressing CTRL, select each hyperlink you want to deactivate.
4.. Click Paste Special on the Edit menu.
5.. Under Operation, click Multiply and then click OK.
The above is from Excel Help. This is one example of using multiply.

I also use multiply by 1 to convert numbers in text format (i.e. left aligned in a cell) to number format (i.e. right aligned). "Add 0" achieves the same.

Epinn, that's not what the Operations are for.

They were there before hyperlink's existed.

I know. But the poster wants an example. It's good that you clarify.

Have you tried using the operation options to see what happens?

They add, subtract,multiply and divide the selected cell(s) by what you have
copied onto the clipboard.

i.e. you have 10 in A1

You have 3 in B1

Copy B1 and paste specialmultiply to A1

What result do you get?

I think sometimes a "bonus" not explained clearly can confuse people. Sorry about that. I'll do my best to remember to keep it simple.

Epinn, it's a public forum - I don't push standards or guide lines

The *extras or bonus* stuff is what makes these forums a bonus :)

I really only meant that maybe a complicated answer should be presented as
*bonus* rather than the *answer*

Don't worry Steve. Believe it or not when I posted that writeup, it did cross my mind if I made it more complicated for the user than I should.
