How do I multiply (1 cell) times a rge of cells to a rge of cells
 

I want to make a budget analysis we I can input a dollar figure in one cell
and multiply to times a range of cells. When I copy the formula excel
correlates the cells to the next in line.

How do I multiply (1 cell) times a rge of cells to a rge of cells
 

Not very clear what's ur problem.
Assuming in A1 is ur dollar figure. B1:F1 u have desired range. In B2:F2
will be A1 times B1:F1. Select by mouse range B2:F2 and type: =a1*b1:f1 then
press ctrl+shift+enter (array formula).
Or insert to B2 =A$1*B1, then drag and copy to C2:F2.

I think its the relative references that you are using,
try putting absolute references to your formula, example like

=$A$1*(B2:B10), A1 will not change if you copy the formula across
=A1*($B$2:$B$10), B2:B10 will not change, A1 will change to A2 if copy down
and A1 will change to B1 if copy across
=$A2*($B$2:$B$10), Col A will ne intact but row ref will change
etc......you may want to read this from the Help section, type absolute
reference
in the search for help.

Hi,

this question is not clear. But if I use you subject line as the question:

Suppose that the range you want to multiple is A1:A10 and you want to
multiply it by the value in cell E1. and you want the results in B1:B10, then

Highlight the range B1:B10, type =E1*A1:A10 and press Shift+Ctrl+Enter.

This is not the standard way to do this but it works an takes less memory.
the standard way would be =E$1*A1 and copy that down to B10.
