If it doesn t need to be a macro  then just put  A1 1 1 into  say  D7  then drag the formula fill handle across  then down

User · Answer

As one of the answers above says    then drag the formula fill handle    This KEY feature is not mentioned in MS s explanation  nor in others here   I spent over an hour trying to follow the various instructions  to no avail   This is because you have to click and hold  near the bottom of the cell just right  and at least on my computer that is not at all easy  so that a sort of  handle  appears   Once you re luck enough to get that  then carefully slide   drag   your  cursor down to the lowermost of the cells you want to be multiplied by the  constant   The products should show up in each cell as you move down   Just dragging down will give you only the answer in the first cell and a lot of white space
