Is there a way to double all the figures in my spreadsheet?  I wrote a budget in US dollars and now I need to see it in Brazilian reals.  Brazilian currency is about half of our currency value. <br><br>Can I do this? Big thanks!

One way I can think of is to use the &quot;paste special&quot; feature. One a separate sheet, fill the cells with &quot;2&quot;, then copy the data you want to double, and &quot;paste special&quot; to the 2nd sheet with &quot;2&quot;. Choose &quot;multiple&quot; in the dialog. <br><br>Thanks,  <br>

I maybe know another way, if you are interested: <br><br>To make this whole think dynamic I would do the following: If you budget is in sheet A and you want to copy and multiply everything to sheet B. Make one cell in sheet A and enter the exact currency value of the Brazilian REAL 1.69707. let's say it is in cell N33 on Sheet 1. <br><br>Now go to Sheet 2 and enter &quot;=(Sheet1!A1)*$N$33&quot; in A1. Then drag and auto fill the rest of the whole page. <br><br>If ou now change anything in your budget OR the currency value in Sheet 1, It changes in sheet 2.  <br><br>Hopefully I'm right. <br><br>Good luck.
