Excel Function

[Lisa at UD]

I would like to be able to enter a number in a cell, and have that number
multiply itself by 333

 

[Jacob Skaria]

Try this. Enter the values

A1 = 1
A2 = 2
A3 = 3

Enter 333 in a separate cell. Copy.
Select A1:A3. Right click Paste Special. Multiply and OK.

If this post helps click Yes

The usual approach is to use two cells (after all, they are cheap). You
enter data in A1 and in another cell insert:
=A1*333

However, if you really like the automultiply idea for some cell, say B9,
enter the following event macro in the worksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set t = Target
If Intersect(t, Range("B9")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
t.Value = 333 * t.Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Anything you type in cell B9 will automatically mulitply itself by 333.


Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
