I have a price list in which I'd like to increase each price in a column by 20%. Is there an easy way of doing that without changing each individual figure?
yes, you should be able to create a formula to increase the value in each cell by 20%. I would do it for you but I don't have excel on this computer. I can't remember off hand how to do it though. sorry!
Re: Any excel experts out there...I have a question!
Say the figure you want to increase is in cell A1. In a new column, insert =A1*1.20
Then copy that down the entire new column and you should be good to go.
If your column starts at A1 then type in B1 = SUM(A1*1.2) and drag down until all the rows have a 20% increase.
If you click into B2 you should see =SUM(A2*1.2)-Excel is smart when you drag equations.
I hope this makes sense. You can hide the first column if you no longer need it, but you can't delete it since you needed it to build the equation.
