Filling Blank Cells

[Guest]

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,

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.
