Hi,

Assuming your data is as below, type the formula in B2 and drag down..

<b>Excel 2007</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>A</th><th>B</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">1</td><td style="text-align: center;;">Original Column</td><td style="text-align: center;;">New Column</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">2</td><td style="text-align: center;;">10</td><td style="text-align: center;;">10.75</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">3</td><td style="text-align: center;;">20</td><td style="text-align: center;;">21.5</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">4</td><td style="text-align: center;;">30</td><td style="text-align: center;;">32.25</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">5</td><td style="text-align: center;;">100</td><td style="text-align: center;;">107.5</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="width:3.6em;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:0.2em 0.6em 0.2em 0.5em;border: 1px solid #A6AAB6;border-top:none;text-align: center;background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">Sheet1</p><br /><br /><table width="85%" cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";border: 2px solid black;border-collapse:collapse;padding: 0.4em;background-color: #FFFFFF" ><tr><td style="padding:6px" ><b>Worksheet Formulas</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" width="100%" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid;text-align:center;background-color: #FFFFFF;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120"><th width="10px">Cell</th><th style="text-align:left;padding-left:5px;">Formula</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th width="10px" style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">B2</th><td style="text-align:left">=A2+A2*0.075</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><br />

Or if you want to update them in situ:-

1. Enter 1.075 in an unused cell somewhere and Ctrl-C to copy it
2. Highlight the column you want to multiply
3. Go Paste > Paste Special, then select Multiply and click OK.
4. Delete the 1.075 cell.
