    Assuming your values are in A1:A8, and across the top through H1 (as your example shows), in B2 put the formula exactly as shown:

    =B$1*$A2

    You can then fill this down as many rows as you need using the fill handle. Once that column is filled, and with those cells still selected, you can easily fill all columns to the right by dragging that direction with the fill handle.

    You want a formula that will build the table by multiplying the heading to each row by the heading to each column?? That's pretty easy, though I apologize for using R1C1 notation; I've grown quite accustomed to it. =rc1*r1c copied through the table. What's the equivalent A1 notation: B$1*$A2??

    If that's not what you want, then can you explain better what you want?

    If you want ONE formula that will cover every cell, this might work:

    =COLUMN()*ROW()*100

    This assumes that down column A you have

    A1=10
    A2=20
    A3=30
    ...

    And across the columns you have

    A1=10
    B1=20
    C1=30
    ...

    Put the formula in B2 and fill down and across. This will create your multiplication table by 10's.
