Change all of the cells in a row(s) by a percentage

[tankerman]

I need to change several different rows some are side by side and some not. I
have tried several different things but nothing seems to work. Our yearly
budget has been move to me and now I need to make several changes, some rows
will go up by percentages and some row down by percentages. I don't want to
have to phyically change every cell is there some way I can select a row or
rows and increase the amount by a given percentage. I would apprciate any
help I could get.

Thanks
Danny

Hi,

Put the % you want to multiply by in a cell e.g. 1.05 for 5% and copy that
cell

Select your row and then
Edit|Paste special
Select Multiply
OK

Suppose you want to increase a few cells by 5% (which is 1.05), then
put 1.05 in an empty cell somewhere, and <copy> that cell. Then
highlight the cells that you want to change (if they are not
contiguous then you can hold down the CTRL key while you select them),
then Edit | Paste Special | Values (check) | Multiply (check) | OK
then <Esc>. Then you can delete the 1.05 from the original cell.

If you want to decrease by 5% then you should start with 0.95 in the
cell.

Hope this helps.
