Apply a mutiple to a range of cells?

J

jtpryan

I have a range of cells spanning multiple columns and rows. I would
like, in my fantasy, to just hightlight all of them and say "multiply
by x" where x is an integer. Now, I know I can't do that because my
microphone doesn't work, so, other then a macro, is there a way to do
it?

Thanks,

-Jim

In an unused cell enter the numnber that you want to multiply by - it can be
an integer or a floating point number - then highlight the range to you want
to mutiply and then right-click and select Paste Special > Multiply > Ok

Don't forget to say "Multipy by x" as you do it. <G>

After entering the number in an unused cell, COPY it. Then continue following Sandy's instructions

Thank you for pointing out my faux pas Niek - I was concentrating so much on
the Magical incantation that I omitted to include the vital part!

Thank you all. Just what I needed. I did have to stand up when I
spoke though...
