Is there anyway to have in the same cell 10% increase
ex; we shall input data $75.00 and this shall be changed automatcally to
$82.50 without having to have 2 cells or columns please explain

You can do this with an event macro.

For instance, put this in your worksheet code module (right-click the
worksheet tab and choose View Code):


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Const csSCALEFACTOR As Double = 1.1 'Add 10%
With Target
If .Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(.Cells, Range("A1,C1")) Is Nothing Then
If IsNumeric(.Value) Then
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = Application.Round(.Value * csSCALEFACTOR, 2)
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error GoTo 0
End If
End If
End With
End Sub

You're trying to do something that is not really how Excel was
intended to work. You can force Excel to do it, but you'll save a lot
of effort if you work with Excel as it was intended:

cell A1 contains value
cell B1 contains =round(A1*1.10,2)

or else choose a product that more nearly meets your requirements.

If you really need to do that thing, and it really has to be in
Excel, then a macro is the only way I know of.
