Default MS Excel wizards

OK, for those true Excel power users this will be easy, but it's driving me crazy.

I have a table and each cell has a dollar value inside. All I want to do is reduce ALL dollar amounts by 32.5% (*.675). I know this is easy, I just never use this program.

I guess I need to select a cell range and *.675. But how?

Can anyone help? (Excel XP/2002 BTW)

Maybe not the easiest way but certainly not very difficult...

Can't you just create a duplicate sheet, then link the duplicate to the original. Link the first cell in the table (ex - =Sheet!A1*0.675) then copy and paste that formula to all the other cells. If you wanted, you could then copy the table and paste values to remove the links.

Actually, if you want to drop the price by 67.5%, you would need to multiply the orignal price my 32.5%.
