I need a formula for excel 2007
I have Excel 2007.
There is one sheet with 2 columns of data. Column one has a series of numbers (e.g, 111,22,3333,etc). Column 2 has a series of terms (e.g, work,gym,home,etc). My problem is: whereas there is a series of numbers in column 1, the terms in column 2 only appear on the first row of each of these column 1 series. 1 work 1 1 2 gym 2 3 shop 3 3 3 I want the terms to appear every time alongside each column 1 number. 1 work 1 work 1 work 2 gym 2 gym 3 shop 3 shop 3 shop 3 shop Can anyone supply a formula which I can put in column 3 which I can fill down to provide the desired effect?? Big thanks. Colwyn. |

I need a formula for excel 2007
Hi,
You need a helper column. In C1 enter the formula =B1 In C2 enter the formula =IF(A2=A1,C1,B2) Drag down as required. Hide column B. Alternatively, copy Column C and paste it back over itself using Paste Special - paste values and then delete Column B Mike "colwyn" wrote: I have Excel 2007.

Hi
With Row 1 being blank, and your data starting in A2, enter this formula in C2 =IF(B2<"",B2,IF(A2=A1,C1,"")) Copy down as far as required. Copy column CPaste SpecialValues back over column B Column C can then be deleted. Your sample data shows blank rows between each set of data. If that is only to highlight the example posted, and the blanks do not exist in reality, then you can achieve your desired result without formulae. Highlight column BF5SpecialBlanksOKpress up arrowtype = and press up arrowControl+Enter All of the blank cells will be filled with the values from the cell above. Once again, if you want to "fix" the data, Copy and paste SpecialValues back over the original data. -- Regards Roger Govier "colwyn" wrote in message ... I have Excel 2007.
