Changing a group of entries
Hello,
I am using Excel 97. I am not an advance user by any means. If I have a spreadsheet with numeric entries, is it possible to apply a same mathematical formula to all the highlighted entries? For example, if I had 100 numeric entries (10 rows by 10 columns) but I want to change all the entries of the first 3 columns (30 entries) by reducing them by 25%. Therefore I want to multiply the entries in the first 3 columns by 0.75. Is this possible without having to change each and every entry separately? Thank you very much for your help. Peter |

Put 0.75 in an empty cell, copy it, select the 3 first columns and do
