This wouldn't do exactly what you want, but at least you will have part of
the copy and paste made. Add a new column 4, with the following formula (put it on cell D2 for this references) =IF(A2="",IF(ISERROR(FIND("-",D1)),D1 & " - " & B2,LEFT(D1,FIND("-",D1)-2) & " - " & B2),B2) This will transform this: 94 LANDINO, Carl will 3/8/1974 trust agmt. 3/6/1974 Into this: 94 LANDINO, Carl LANDINO, Carl will 3/8/1974 LANDINO, Carl - will trust agmt. 3/6/1974 LANDINO, Carl - trust agmt. It is not the full solution, but you can copy, paste values on the whole column and play a little with sort/filter after that. Maybe you can avoid the 25000 cut and paste :) Miguel.

What I need to do is take the name and combine it with the wording below for each date. For example 94 LANDMAN, Edward wil 10/2/83 trust 6/8/83 BECOMES: 94 LANDMAN, Edward - will 10/2/83 LANDMAN, Edward - trust 6/8/83 Is there a fast way to do this without cutting an pasting? I have over 25,000 entries? |
