Hi all,

I was wondering if i could get your advice.

Is there a way to automatically increase a numerical value in "column A" by 5% without having to add another column to do the calculation within VBA.

I haven't come across any Google topics that can answer this question.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Not sure if you want to multipy a single value in column A, or a range of values.
One way to do a range of values (a single value would be even simpler, just the one line):
Code:
Sub Test()

    Dim cell As Range

    For Each cell In Range("A1:A10")
        cell.Value = cell.Value * 1.05
    Next cell
    
End Sub
Note that this can be done even easier WITHOUT VBA and without an extra column.
Just type 1.05 in any blank cell, highlight that cell and select Copy. Then, select all the values in column A, right-click, and select Paste Special -> Multiply -> OK.
That will multiple all those selected values by 1.05 at once (in place).

This is perfect.

I spent a good few hours trawling through various Google posts and forums to see if there was a leaner way of achieving this and you have answered my question!
