Multiply an Excel 2003 Spreedsheet

I don't know much about Excel, because I never use it.
If this is a dumb question please don't get mad at me.

I have a spreadsheet of over 1,000 products my client wants me to markup 35 percent.

Is there an easy way to multiply a whole Excel spreadsheet of numbers times 1.35 or an additional 35% markup.

Thanks to anyone who knows the answer.

Insert a column right next to the existing price column. Create a formula in the new column at the very top next to the first price that looks something like this

=A1*1.35

where A1 happens to be the column that contains the current price. Now select that new cell. When you do, you will notice a little plus sign in the lower left corner of the cell when you hover your cursor there. Double-click it and it will copy the same formula all the way down the column to reflect the price to it's left marked up by 35 percent.

=SUM(A1*35%+A1)

Just change A1 for you chosen cell name and the percentage to your required amount, then copy and paste.
