Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlMultiply, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.NumberFormat = "0"

Range("Y1").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B65:AE65,B67:AE67,B69:AE69,B71:AE71,B73:AE73,B75:AE75,B77:AE77,B79:AE79,B81:AE81,B83:AE83,B85:AE85,B87:AE87,B89:AE89,B91:AE91,B93:AE93,B95:AE95,B97:AE97,B99:AE99,B101:AE101,B103:AE103,B105:AE105,B107:AE107,B109:AE109,B111:AE111").Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlMultiply, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.NumberFormat = "0"


End Sub

 

I am multiplying the value in Y1 (single value) with the range listed above(Just the black values in

18-20 LRFD) sheet. When i run the macro, it changes the format in the range. How can i fix it so it won't change the format?

 

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

 

Try to remove the lines that say:

Selection.NumberFormat = "0"

 

There are two lines of them in the macro.

Thank you Haytham!

This line is to truncate the numbers. My issue is i don't want to change the color  of the cell.

In the top picture below is after multiplication  and removing the line you just told me about. The second picture is what it originally looked like. i Just want to multiply the numbers only without modifying the color of the cell.

If so, replace this argument:

Paste:=xlPasteAll

With this:

Paste:=xlValue

 

There is two of this in the code.

 

I hope that helps
