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. -- David Biddulph |

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 "David Biddulph" wrote in message ...

Epinn, that's not what the Operations are for.
They were there before hyperlink's existed. remember KIS Steve On Tue, 10 Oct 2006 08:41:49 +0100, Epinn wrote: Deactivate several hyperlinks at once 1..

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

Use of Paste Special - Operation
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* Steve On Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:50:52 +0100, Epinn wrote: I think sometimes a "bonus" not explained clearly can confuse people.

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.
