Repeat text a number define of times
Say your table <names, number below is located in A1:B4 (A1="names",
A2="bad"). You will build an auxiliary column in C:C. In C2 enter the number 1. In C3 formula to copy down: =C2+B2 Now say you want to start the repeating values in F2. Use the following formula in F2: =IF(ROWS($F$2:F2)<=SUM($B$2:$B$4),INDEX($A$2:$A$4, MATCH(ROW()-ROW($F $2)+1,$C$2:$C$4,1)),"") You can copy down this formula and it will exhaust your table and afterwords leave blank cells.

Don;t copy the formula as it is, it depends on where exactly you have
the original table. The tricky parts in the formula are $A$2:A$A4, $B $2:$B$4 and $C$2:$C$4. Of these, A2:B4 are supposed to contain {bad, 3; medium, 9; good, 3} and C2:C4 contain the 1 and the formula I suggested for the auxiliary cells. If your table is in other cells you must modify these parts accordingly.
