well start with one cell that has the raw data in it. From that cell move to where you want the data thats processed to be going. in the new cell type “=C5+8675309” C5 being the cell with the raw data… now you can take that and copy and paste it along the line… so if you go down one it also references the raw data that is down one ---

like mentioned earlier, start with an = sign then type in your formula then when you need your number input use a parenthesis ( then just drag the cells you want to include and put an end parenthesis ). so if your formula for ex is to multiply some cells by 3 i believe it would be =3\*(a1:a7), if you cant figure the drag feature out, you can always manually enter the cells also using a colon in between them. ---
