Cannot seem to get this to work...

If text in cells in column D are blank then copy text in cells from column E
without overwriting any existing information in cells in column D...

Does this make sense???? HELP!!!!! Looking at screen too long!!!

One way:

1. Select the range in col. D.
2. Press F5 Special and click "Blanks". OK.
3. Press "=" and click on the cell to the immediate right
in col. E. of the first blank cell in col. D.
4. Press <Ctrl<Enter.

Thank you Jason...but what if I want to keep this worksheet as a template and
import other worksheets...I would have to do this each time instead of having
a template with formula's so that when I import it automatically did this
step for me??? does this make any sense?

Thanks again!

One thing...this is filling the cells that have no information what so ever
in either cell with a "0"...how do I do it so that it doesn't do this?

Also...using a database with about 15,000 cells per column and trying to
create a template so that I can import data daily and it will automatically
update the new data presented? Hope this makes sense...

Thanks again!
