4 Methods to Make Multiplication Table in Excel
We will use four effective and tricky methods to make a multiplication table in Excel. This section provides extensive details on four methods. You should learn and apply all of these, as they improve your thinking capability and Excel knowledge.
1. Make Multiplication Table Using Mixed References
Here, we have a dataset containing numbers 1-10 in the range of cells C4:L4 and again in the range of cells B5:B14. Our main goal is to make a multiplication table. To do this we will use the simple method using mixed cell references. In this method, the row reference is locked while the other is not. You have to follow the following steps to make a multiplication table.
📌 Steps:
- Firstly, you have to use the following formula in cell C5:
=C$4*$B5
Here, we multiplied cell C5 by cell B5.
- Next, copy cell C5. Then you have to select the range of the cells C5:L14 and paste (Ctrl+V) the formula.
- Finally, you will get a complete multiplication table like the following.
