If you wanted to just change the original cells and add 50 to them, then first type 50 into a blank cell. Then copy it. Then select the cells you want to add 50 to. Go to Paste Special and pick the Add option. 50 will be added to all the selected cells, replacing their original values with that value plus 50. That is the simplest way.

Another way to add a number to the value in each cell of a column is to insert another column. If your original values are in C2:C26 you can enter the following formula in D2 (=C2+50), then copy the formula to D3:D26.

To clean up the worksheet, you have a couple of options:

  1. Hide column C and view the numbers in column D.
  2. Copy column D, then paste values into column C. This will change the values of column C to the +50 values, and also increase column D by an additional +50. When you are satisfied with your numbers in column C, delete column D and you will be back where you started, except your values in column C will be +50 from the original values.
