Dumb Excel/CapIQ Formatting Question

Ok, so I got EBITDA margins from the CapIQ company tearsheets, and the EBIT margins from the CapIQ formula builder. The former is just formatted as a percentage (5.2%); the latter is automatically formatted as a number (5.2). So, when I go to reformat the EBIT margin to a percentage, it spits back 520% rather than 5.2%, obviously.

Is there a quick way to reformat to display 5.2% w/out having to go to each cell and multiplying the # by .01? Or, is there a quick way to multiply a whole column by .01?

If you want to multiply an entire column by .01 (or divide by 100):

  1. type the number (.01) into a blank cell anywhere (you can delete it later)
  2. Ctrl+C copy the number
  3. select the numbers you'd like to modify in the column
  4. Alt+E,S Paste special
  5. M for multiply or I for divide, then Enter
  6. the Numbers should have changed
  7. Delete the .01 from the temporary cell

this saves you creating a new column step.
