Put this in C1:

=IF(B1A1,"B","")

and copy down as required.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Pete.

Is there anywhere to paste the entire column C ? not just one specific
cells, but 200 rows.

Thank you.

A number of ways of copying:

Copy C1, select C2:C20, and Paste.
or
Select the fill handle in the bottom right hand corner of C1 (to get a black
square there), and drag it down C2:C200
or
Double-click on the fill handle of C1 (see above), and it should fill down
as far as you have data in column B
