I would like to update a range of cells with any number that is input into a
specific cell

Duma,
Select the range of cells, type the formula
=$A$1
(but with the cell address of the specific cell) and press Ctrl-Enter.
Or, type = and then select the specific cell and press Ctrl-Enter. This is the better way if the
cell is on another sheet.
HTH,

Do you mean you want to perform some math operation on all the cells when you
input a number into one specific cell?
Assume number is entered in A1.
Assume range is B1:B100
In C1 enter =B1*$A$1 which will multiply by the number in A1
Double-click on fill handle of C1 to copy down.
Another method is to enter a number in an unused cell.
Copy that cell.
Select the range to change and Paste Special>Multiply>OK>Esc
Change the number and do it again.
