    Changing data in multiple cells at once?

    Hello, I received a spreadsheet with over a thousand item's info and in each column [L] there are numbers 20, 30, 45, 60 mixed and not all grouped, for example, they look like this:

    30
    30
    20
    45
    30
    20
    45

    and so on. Instead of having to change the info in each cell so 1,000 times I am seeking a way to do this so it will change all identical numbers with the same info, using the above example of numbers, I would like to change every cell with the number 30 to the number 40 and every cell with the number 45 to the number 55 and so on, is this possible please?

    If, as per your example, you want to increase them all by 10

    enter 10 into a blank cell and copy it.
    Select your data range and Paste Special> Add
    All of your numbers will increase by 10.
    Is that what you wanted?
