    I have a column with prices listed (from top to bottom)
    I want to add $5.00 to the prices in that column, without having to do it individually
    Is there a way I can add automatically add $5 to each price on that column

    the easiest way i know of doing it is:

    use the next column, and add the formula (if items in column A, then enter formula's into column B)
    Code:
    A1:A200+$5
    then just hide column A

    or enter the amount to add in a separate cell then (say B2)
    Code:
    A1:A200+$B$2
    the $ makes the link absoute (stays B2 instead of going down the B column) i think thats right, but i havent used excel since excel 97, so wait for more replies

    right if your column of prices are i column A, enter this formula into column B
    Code:
    A1:A200+$C$2
    then enter the amount you wish to add into column C ($5)

    i think this will work, but as i said i'm well out of date in using excel, i last used excel when it was excel 97, and my memory is getting worse - it's an age thing

    P.S. yes i altered formula - see, memory
