In our example table below, we want to multiply all the numbers in column A by the number 3 in cell C2. The formula =A2*C2 will get the correct result (4500) in cell B2.
Click Home > Fill, and choose either Down, Right, Up, or Left. Keyboard shortcut: You can also press Ctrl+D to fill the formula down in a column, or Ctrl+R to fill the formula to the right in a row.
First, select the cells that you would like to multiply. Next, use the "*" symbol to multiply the cells. Finally, press "Enter" to complete the process. For example, if you would like to multiply the cells in column A by the cells in column B, select the cells in both columns and use the "*" symbol.
Select the formula in the cell using the mouse, and press Ctrl + C to copy it. Select the destination cell, and press Ctl+V. This will paste the formula exactly, without changing the cell references, because the formula was copied as text.
Multiply numbers in a cell
To do this task, use the * (asterisk) arithmetic operator. For example, if you type =5*10 in a cell, the cell displays the result, 50.
Put 1000 in a spare/free cell. Copy the cell. Now select the range/column you want to increase and Paste Special | operator = multiply. Then delet the contents of the cell with the 1000 in it.
For example, if cells A1 and A2 contain numbers, you can use the formula =PRODUCT(A1, A2) to multiply those two numbers together. You can also perform the same operation by using the multiply (*) mathematical operator; for example, =A1 * A2. The PRODUCT function is useful when you need to multiply many cells together.
Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Click Home > Cut (or press Ctrl + X). Select the cell you want the formula to be in, and then click Paste (or press Ctrl + V). Verify that the cell references are still what you want. Tip: You can also right-click the cells to cut and paste the formula.
Autofill in formulas operates by copying and pasting cells with formulas from one cell to another. Like Autofill, copying and pasting a formula will automatically modify the cell references when going from one column to another or one row to another.
If you do not want cell references to change when you copy a formula, then make those cell references absolute cell references. Place a "$" before the column letter if you want that to always stay the same. Place a "$" before a row number if you want that to always stay the same.
Multiply function in Excel (PRODUCT)
If you need to multiply multiple cells or ranges, the fastest method would be using the PRODUCT function: PRODUCT(number1, [number2], …) Where number1, number2, etc. are numbers, cells or ranges that you want to multiply.
To perform the multiplication of the row and the column, multiply the first entry in the row and the first entry of the column. That's the first product. Now take the product of the second entry in the row and the second entry in the column. That's the second product.
How to Multiply Multiple Cells in Google Sheets. To multiply multiple cells in Google Sheets, just use the same formula, but include more cell references. For example, if you wanted to multiply cells A1, B1, and C1, you would type =A1*B1*C1 and hit Enter. The result will appear in the cell where you typed the formula.
