Help,

I'm trying to add 3% to a series of cells all with different values (256 ,1009, 568 etc....).

How do I do this without the formula just multiplying the value by 3%? I've tried putting in 3% to a blank cell then copying, paste speacial to selected cells, values and either add or multiply to no avail????

You should be able to stick 1.03 in a blank cell, and then use paste-special multiply. The only other alternative I can think of is a simple macro.
