Excel Help - Quick question about Excel

Hey Guys,

I have a quick question about Excel for you all. I've been trying to figure this out myself but I figure it will be easier and faster if I ask you all.

Let's say in Excel I have columns with different monetary value projecting profit for a company. Is there a fast way using excel, where I can use a formula or something to increase each number by 15% instead of calculating and changing it manually??

Thanks!

 

get. the. fuck. out.

Go to one of the cells, press F2 to access the cell contents and multiply the number by 1.15 and hit enter. Copy this cell, select the entire column going down using the Ctrl and Shift keys, then hit Alt E S F to copy the 15% increase formula to each cell. Hope this helps.

 

1) Type 1.15 in another cell -- let's call it cell "A1" 2) Ctrl. C cell A1 3) Highlight all cells you want increased by 15% 4) Paste special --> Multiply (Alt. E S M)

Unrelated note: this also works if you want Text --> Values (i.e. lookups aren't working), but instead of "1.15" you use "1".
