Hello,

Is there an easy way to select a range of cells and change the value of each
cell by the same percentage without adding formula columns?

Thank you,
Aaron

Hi
try:
- put 1.05 in an empty cell (for a 5% increase) and copy this cell
- select your values
- goto 'Edit - Paste Special' and choose 'Multiply'

Yes, in a seperate cell, enter 1 plus the percentage change you wish to
add. for example, if you want to increase your range by 10%, enter 1.1
in a cell, copy it, then select your entire range, Edit, Paste Special,
under Operation, select Multiply, then OK. Your range will be
incremented by the percentage you indicated.

Let's say you want to increase the vales in A1:A10 by 15%
In empty cell (we'll call it Z1) type 1.15
Copy Z1; select A1:A10 and use Edit | Paste Special specifying Multiply in
the popup dialog box.
Your numbers have been increased.
All that remains is housekeeping - delete Z1

best wishes

Hello, and thank you.

Is there a way for it to not overwrite the existing formats in the selected
range?

Thank you,

When doing the Paste Special check "Formulas"(under Paste) as well as
"Multiply"
