change values globally

[Guest]

I have a price book that i made in excel 97. I want to raise the values of
the cells by 10 % with out having to do each cell independently. I would like
to select all the cells that need to be change and do it globally. Can any
one help

Assuming the prices are in one column.
Insert a new column next to it.
enter for instance =C2*1.1 and extend down.
select the new prices range <edit>< copy>
select the top cell of the old prices range <edit><paste special><values>
delete the temporary column.

Type 1.1 in an unused cell.
edit|copy that cell
select the range to adjust.
edit|paste special|check multiply
clean up that 1.1 cell.

=========
If you have to play what if games, you may want to approach it this way:

Put 1.1 in A1 (insert a new row if you need to)
put =$a$1 in B1.
select B1
edit|copy
select your range to adjust
edit|paste special|multiply

Now the constants in that range have been changed to formulas and formulas now
have *($a$1) appended to them.

You can just change the value in A1 to see how it affects your numbers.
(clear B1, we're done with it.)

Enter 1.10 in a cell.

Copy that cell.

Select all other cells to be changed and Paste Special>Multiply>OK>Esc.

Delete the cell with 1.10.

Try this:

Put 1.1 (or 110%) in an empty cell
Edit>Copy
Select the cells you want impacted
Edit>Paste Special
-Multiply
-Values
Click [OK]

(If you make a mistake...Edit>Undo)

Does that help?
