I have a column of numbers (costs), call it Column L. I want the corresponding value in Column M to be the column L cost times .95.
I can create a formula for one cell at a time, but how do I expand that so that the formula applies to every row?
i.e M3 = L3*.95, M4=L4*.95, etc.
Thanks

If the formulas return zeros then I guess you have no data in Column L
Try this formula to hide the zeros until you get data in column L
=IF(L3="","",L3*0.95) entered in M3 then drag/copy down as far as you need.

At first I was getting zeroes, but after your reply I tried again. Seems that I was double clicking in the cell instead of on the corner of the cell where the cursor turns into a plus sign.
Now it works. Thank you!
