Filling Blank Cells
Hi,
I have an excel sheet with 1000 names in Column A. Each cell in Column A has 5 associated cells in Column B. ie If A1 has a name "ABC"....it has B1 through B5 associated with it. The next value would be in A6...which has values from B6 through B10 associated with it. My question is there a formula where i can fill in cells A2:A5 with ABC and A7:A10 with the value in A6.....and so on. Thanks |

Pankaj,
Select column A, then use Edit / Go To... Special Blanks OK. Then type an equal sign, press the up arrow key once, then press Ctrl-Enter. Then reselect column A, copy, and paste values, and you're done. HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Pankaj" wrote in message ... Hi, I have an excel sheet with 1000 names in Column A.

Bernie,
I'm an excel geek too and have been for a LONG time... That's by far one of the most creative (and useful) tips I've heard.. Props.. (can you see my question on pivot table sorting??)

Thanks.
But I don't see any post by you regarding pivot tables. Bernie "TomHinkle" wrote in message ... Bernie, I'm an excel geek too and have been for a LONG time...
