1. In cell H 1 I have:-

10

2. In cell I 1 I have:-

=(H1*10%)

3. Just copy the formula above down the column:-

 - Ctrl-C in cell I 1

 - highlight cells I 2 to I 6000

 - Ctrl-V to paste. 

The above should achieve what you want. 

If my comments have helped please hit Yes. 

Thanks.

Say you want to add 10% to all prices, then enter 1,1 in an unused cell, 
copy the cell, then select the price column, and goto Edit > PasteSpecial > 
Operation: Multiply.
