Try this:
Click on A1
While holding down CTRL , click on B2, C3, D4
Remove figure from CTRL
Type any number (23 for example) and press CTRL+ENTER
All you selected cells now have the number
best wishes

I have been told that if I highlight figures in a spreadsheet that I want
to
change, type in the correct figure and press enter, all the figures should
change. This is not happening, is there something I am doing wrong?
