Multiply cells in Google Sheets with the asterisk operator, PRODUCT, and absolute references for fixed rates.
Direct answer
Use the asterisk operator to multiply two cells: =A2*B2. Use PRODUCT for a range, and lock a fixed rate with dollar signs such as =A2*$F$1.
=A2*B2Multiplies the value in A2 by the value in B2.
=PRODUCT(A2:B2)Multiplies every numeric value in the range.
=A2*$F$1Keeps the rate in F1 fixed when the formula is filled down.
