I was working on an application which reads data from supplied spreadsheets. In one column it expected a %. It expected it to be written as 30 (for example for 30%). However some spreadsheets arrived with the % written as 0.30.<\/p>\n

So to change these value within the spreadsheet (for any selected range) I wanted to simply multiple the selected cells by 100.<\/p>\n

To achieve this is very simple. Just follow these steps<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In an empty cell type 100<\/li>\n
  2. Now select the altered cell and copy it<\/li>\n

  4. Right mouse click on the cells and select Paste Special<\/li>\n
  5. Select the Operation Multiple and press OK<\/li>\n
  6. Finally delete the cell we added in step 1<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
