    Create a formula to enter a value based on decimal number (percentage)

    Hi,
    I need help with creating a formula please. I have 2 columns.
    Column A and Column B.
    Column A is where I want to have a value, column B will be a decimal number 0.1;0.2 up to 1.0
    I want Column A to display a figure based on what that decimal number is.
    e.g. of the number is 1.0 Column A will display 500. If it's 0.5 then it will display 250. If it's 0.1 it will display 50. Like a percentage.

    Is that possible?

    thanks.

    In A1 just do;

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    In B1 put your 1

    Change B1 to what you want and A1 will adjust.
