Copy down to next Cell
 

I have a spreadsheet that is 30000 lines long. I have to copy down a
different value to about 20 spaces below.
For example I have the first value in b2, the the next 20 rows under
this are blank then the new value starts in b22 then the next 20 rows
under this are blank the then new value starts in B42.

How to I fill in the blanks all the way to the end of the 30000 lines?

Thanks
Sam

Copy down to next Cell
 

try this macro:

Sub samc()
n = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 3 To n
If (IsEmpty(Cells(i, "B"))) Then
Cells(i, "B").FillDown
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi Sam,

If I understand you correctly,

Insert a helper column C
Put this in C2
=IF(B20,B2,C1)
and drag down to the end of your data.

Then select column C do a copypaste specialvalues
on it and then delete column B.

Hi,

Do the following:
1. Enter a value in cell B2. (for example, enter 22)
2. Select a range from B2:B20.
3. Press Ctrl+D.
4. Repeat the Step 1 to Step 3 after entering a new value in cell 23.
