<undesirable extra set of cells>
You have 19 million+ cells available. Why bother?
Just enter the 5000, 7000, etc in cells (you can use a separate sheet if you don't want to clutter the present one), define a
meaningful name for them and change your formula to something like =InputAmount/A1

| Basically I have a several figures that are all divided by the same
| number. However, the several figures aspect of the spreadsheet
| changes quite frequently, and all of the figures will always be
| divided by the same number. (eg, B4 {=5000 / A1}, B5 {=7000 /
| A1}, ...etc.) However, when one goes to change a number (lets say
| 5000 from the aforementioned example), the user must type ' = 5500 /
| A1'. The question was, is there was a way to streamline that to
| where certain designated cells were always divided by said cell.
| Hence, the user could just go through the spreadsheet and type '5500'
| and the appropriate change is made.
|
| I know I can decouple the implementation from the interface (sounds a
| lot like a visitor pattern ;-) ), however that would require an
| undesirable extra set of cells.
