Formulas

I need a formula to multiply a cell, say A1 x a value say 5 x another Cell, say A8 ( which contains a rate, which may change ), But I need to copy over many rows.
Eg: 0.10 ( Cell A1 ) x 5 x 1.25 ( Cell A8 ) this formula is to be entered in cells say C2 but copied in C3,C4,C5 etc etc.

Ref: A1 will be Kgs, 5 = bar length, A8 = Rate per Kg

I hope this explains ok.
Thanks

RE: Formulas

Dear Stephen

I think I need a bit more clarification with regards to the question you have asked.

I would like to repeat what you have said you have a value 0.1 (KG) in cell A1 and value 1.25 (Rate per KG) in cell A8.

You are entering a formula in cell C2 which will be =A1*5*A8

You want to copy the resulting cell C2 to C3, C4 and so on.

First of all I would like to know if there will be any values in cell A2: A7
Assuming that there are values in the cell range A2:A7 I guess that you want to copy the results to C2:C8 where the values will come from A2:A7. I am also guessing that you want the cell A8 to be fixed so that all the cells (A2:A7) are multiplied by Cell A8.

If I am predicting your question right then you


 

Excel tip:

Hide data in Excel Worksheets

Let's say you have some data in cell 'C5' you would like to hide from the casual viewer.

Click cell 'C5' to select it.

Click the 'Format' menu, select 'Cells'. When the 'Format Cells' dialogue box opens, click the 'Numbers' tab (if necessary), then select 'Custom' from the 'Category' list.

Double-click the 'Type' entry box and type three semi-colons: ";;;"

Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box and accept the new formatting.

The data in cell 'C5' disappears. It's still there and will work in calculations, but it isn't visible.

If you need to check the data, just click the blank cell and the contents appear in the 'Formula bar'.
