    Adding mark up to a column of existing numbers.

    I've got a column of over 36000 sales prices. I want to do a markup of say 5%. Is there a macro to achieve this?

    Here's a twist the numbers do not have decimal points, so 381 is actually 3.81 and 1515 is actually 15.15.
    I know how to insert the decimal points (Paste Special on the whole column from a copied cell with .01 in it) but I can't figure out the mark up. I thought I had it by doing another Paste Special on the whole column with 1.05 in it but I was informed I didn't do a true mark up.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    AManly

    Do you mean by pasting the cell that has 1.05 in it then selecting the range to markup, then pasteSpecial=> Multiply, will not increase those values by 5%... why not?

    Yes that does increase the values by 5% but apparently that isn't a "true markup" in figuring profit margin.
