    Multiplying numbers

    Hi

    I'm making a budget sheet and I need help creating/finding the right formular. It's really just a luxury-problem, or me being lazy, but it would decrease the amount of hours I need in front of my computer.

    So I want a cell to multiply the value in that cell by 125. So whenever I write, say 5, into the cell, it would multiply 5 by 125. How can I create that function?

    In cell a1 put 125
    In cell a2 put 5

    In cell A3 write:

    =Sum(a1*a2)

    and press enter

    Thanks for the reply!

    That's not what I am looking for though. I want cell A1 to multiply whatever number I write in A1 by 125 and then show me the total in A1. Is that possible?

    Not through a formula it isn't.

    Why is this not okay though? Why do you only want to use 1 cell?

    Simple laziness. I'm running my own massage clinic and I'm trying to save time by not writing down every client I've had, by just counting the number of times I've done a 30 or 60 minute massage throughout a week.

    Use a simple spreadsheet with column "A" being occurences and column "B" being duration.

    Then in column "C" you would use A1*B1 - dragged down

    Re: Multiplying numbers

    I've attached my file in my OP.

    Sheet 3 is where I want my function to be. D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10 and D11 are the cells where I want my function to be.

    Re: Multiplying numbers

    As others have stated, it is not possible with Formulas. You can use VBA to convert do this. I assume you will want this to happen in D4:O11

    Enter this code into the worksheet (Right click on the tab>View code)

    I set the macro up that it works when entering individual data. If you paste a range into your sheet, it will not multiply it.
