Multiply selection of cells by x, whilst keeping formulas and formats, using VBA

Hi,

I constantly have to change the factor of a large series of random cells, usually by a thousand or a hundred.

I can for example
  • enter "100" in a random cell,
  • click copy,
  • highlight all the cells I need to change,
  • paste special - formulas - multiply.
  • But, when doing this as frequently as I do, it takes a while!

Does anyone know how I can do this in VBA, so that I can just highlight the cells, run the macro and it will automatically paste special, formulas, multiply by say "100" for every cell?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Jay
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
