How to Multiply Column by a Constant in Google Sheets
To multiply a column by a constant in Google Sheets, you'll need to use an ARRAYFORMULA function combined with the multiplication operator. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Open your Google Sheet containing the data you want to multiply.
- Click on an empty cell where you'd like to display the result.
- Enter the following formula in the cell:
=ARRAYFORMULA(A1:A* constant)
Replace A1:A
with the range of the column you want to multiply, and replace constant
with the constant value you want to multiply the column by.
- Press Enter to apply the formula.
Example
Let's say you have a list of numbers in column A (from A1 to A5) that you want to multiply by the constant value 10. Here's how you can do it:
- Click on an empty cell where you'd like to display the result, for example, B1.
- Enter the following formula in the cell:
=ARRAYFORMULA(A1:A5 * 10)
- Press Enter to apply the formula.
The result will be displayed in column B, with each value in column A multiplied by 10.
