    hi all, hope the weathers great…it certainly is here.

    i am in the process of updating a price list in excel and need to multiply all figures by 10% can anyone help me with how to do it in one motion rather than changing each cell individually.

    any help or advice is much appreciated

    cheers

    make a new cell with the formula, call it price increase,
    then select all the prices (cells) to apply it to, next time you want to increase the prices just enter by how much

    dont know really

    assuming the price is 1.99

    =1.99*10%+1.99

    or

    a1 10%

    =1.99*a1+1.99 as peter was suggesting

    first column to have price, 2nd column to have equation to add 10%

    click column 2 (not whole column just the one cell) and press

    =

    and then click on column one and type

    *10/100

    and press enter

    if you insert

    10

    into column one then column 2 should be

    11

    to continue this equation down click and hold bottom right hand corner of cell (so little + symbol appears) and drag as far down as required, each cell should update accordingly.

    hope that makes sense.

    cheers

    Or you could create a new cell with the following:

    =A1*1.10

    Where "A1" is the cell with the original price

    To add 15% change the 1.10 to 1.15
    To add 20% change the 1.10 to 1.20
    etc
    etc

    To continue this down the list of prices, click the new cell, and hold shift and click the cell in the same column at the bottom of your list to be updated. The "Edit" -> "Fill" -> "Down"

    Hope this helps!
