Is there any faster way to copy paste in Excel? - excel

Question

I have a list of data that I need to keep copy paste with the same data
I found is stupid that I keep copy paste due to I have 10000 over data inside my excel sheet.
Is there any faster way to allow me copy paste the same data in few minutes?
Below will be my data:
A B C D E F G
1 17449 2JW3-1512-P2 NPJW3A3177 0.111 3.149 0.024 0.034
2 0129 3.100 0.026 0.033
3 0130 3.200 0.023 0.025
4 0131 3.159 0.024 0.015
5 17580 2JW3-1511-P2 NPJW3A3177 7129 3.160 0.025 0.015
6 7130 3.140 0.025 0.014
7 7180 3.214 0.023 0.011
Is there any faster way that I want A2:C4 will fill in with the data same as A1:C1
while A6:C7 will fill in with data same A5:C5

Answer 1

Try doing this. First move your data down one row to give you a empty first row. Then in H2 put this formula:
=IF(A2="",H1,A2)
Now copy that across two columns and down to the bottom of your data.
Then your spreadsheet would look like this:
+---+-------+--------------+------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+--------------+------------+
| | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J |
+---+-------+--------------+------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+--------------+------------+
| 1 | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2 | 17449 | 2JW3-1512-P2 | NPJW3A3177 | 0.111 | 3.149 | 0.024 | 0.034 | 17449 | 2JW3-1512-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
| 3 | | | | 129 | 3.1 | 0.026 | 0.033 | 17449 | 2JW3-1512-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
| 4 | | | | 130 | 3.2 | 0.023 | 0.025 | 17449 | 2JW3-1512-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
| 5 | | | | 131 | 3.159 | 0.024 | 0.015 | 17449 | 2JW3-1512-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
| 6 | 17580 | 2JW3-1511-P2 | NPJW3A3177 | 7129 | 3.16 | 0.025 | 0.015 | 17580 | 2JW3-1511-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
| 7 | | | | 7130 | 3.14 | 0.025 | 0.014 | 17580 | 2JW3-1511-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
| 8 | | | | 7180 | 3.214 | 0.023 | 0.011 | 17580 | 2JW3-1511-P2 | NPJW3A3177 |
+---+-------+--------------+------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+--------------+------------+
You can now copy columns H2:J8 over to A2:C8 (or as far down as you need to go) and in one copy/paste you're done. Make sure you paste values, not formulas.

Answer 2

Select A:C, HOME, Editing,- Find & Select, Go To Special..., Blanks, OK
=, ↑, Ctrl+Enter
then copy down the last entries in ColumnsA:C to suit.

Answer 3

Just select A1:C1 together, and then drag the bottom right cross (fill handle) down to fill in A2:C4.
Similarily, select A5:C5 together and fill A6:C7 with data by dragging the cross down again.
Alternatively, if you have large range of cells to fill, you can also use the Fill Button in the menu. For example, if you wanted to fill A5:C5 downwards for say 100 rows, you can do this:
Put in the inital data for A5:C5.
In the Excel Name Box, type in A5:C105 and press enter (the Name Box is located left of the formula bar). A5:C105 should now all be selected.
On the Home Ribbon tab > Editing Group > Fill, Select the "Down" option.
Now each row in A5:C105 should be filled exactly with whatever was in A5:C5.
