If the first cell happens to be A1, the in B1 you would enter:
=SUM(A1*1000)
and hit enter.

To apply this formula to the rest of the B column you could select the B1
cell, put the pointer on the small square in the lower right-hand corner of
the cell, and drag down the column. This will apply the formula that you
entered in the B1 cell to all the cells that you drag down to.

=A1*1000

and copy down

The SUM function is unnecessary here and can be dispensed with altogether,
eg

=A1*1000.
