Multiplying 1 row of data by 1 column of data

Hello,

 

I am trying to multiply a column by a row of percentages in order to get a value for each state. What is the best way to do this? See attached file. The total column is the data that I want to multiply by the ratios in the row at the bottom. I want to populate an amount for each row for each state.

Is this what your input looks like or is this your desired output? There are a few ways to go about this. An iterative or batch macro seems like one of the ways you would want to tackle it. Its going to require cleansing the table a bit first though if this is what the dataset starts out like.

Hi @cjaneczko, I would say both. This is how the dataset starts, but I want to populate each column with the product of the total column and the ratios at the bottom. For example, If you look at column AL000000, I want each row of AL to show the product of the  values in the Total column multiplied by the ratio at the bottom of the AL000000 column.

This is one way to do it.

Another option would be using dynamic replace to add in formulas for the columns.
