The basics

Multiply two cells

How it works in Excel

• The * sign means multiply.
• Copy it down to do every row.
• Division uses /, and powers use ^.
• Excel does multiplication before addition, so use brackets to change the order.

The idea in general

This is the same as multiplying on a calculator, one row at a time.

What I assumed

• The numbers are in A2 and B2.

Check the result on your own data before relying on it.
