I tried googling it and couldn't find a simple answer. How do I take one row and apply it to multiple rows? For example in one row I have 'State" and I want to copy it in the same column just all the way down (multiple rows).
I am using Excel 2007.
Shift-click the entire column (or range of rows), and then hit Fill->Down.
Though, where Fill is depends on what version of Excel you're running.
On 2007, Fill is located on the top right of the Home tab on the ribbon, in the Editing control box.
First Select to copy the Row which is to be copied from its next row. example - A1 to E1 is to be copied from A2:E2 to A420:E420
Then press Ctrl+G for GOTO option and enter destination cell number Example A420 and press to go there
From The cell number A420, Press Ctrl+Shift and Up Arrow and then all the cells between A420 to Cell Number A1 will be selected to copy .
Again press Shift+Down arrow one step to deselect The First Row / CELL A1 Row which has the content to copy from A2 Row to A420 Row.
Now press ENTER button bywhich the first row/ has been copied upto A420 Row

I am working on an excel project where I have to fill all the blank with info but it differs every some rows looks like this
and this is what I would like to achieve.
You can follow below steps.
Select cells you want to fill up.
From Home tab--> Editing section select Find & Select then Go To Special.
Select Blanks and click ok.
Now just type =Immediate above cell address you want to fill like =A1.
Then press CTRL+ENTER. Blanks cells should fill up with data from its above cell.
If you wish to remove formulas from cells then copy all cells in range and right click then paste values.
I have one column in excel that contains the source ip in the first cell then on the next row contains any open ports for that source ip. for the cells that contain the port number they are all right aligned. I am trying to find out how I can move all of the port numbers over to the next column called "Ports" in excel.
The fastest way I can think of is using Goto feature.
First you need to copy the entire list in column A to column B.
Then, using Goto, select all numbers in column A. To use Goto, select column A then press F5. Then click on Special. You will see below dialog box. Tick Constant and Numbers as seen below and press ok.
After executing step 2, all numbers will be selected as seen below. Press delete.
Repeat steps for column B. This time, you select Constant and Text. Then delete.
There you have it, you've transferred all the port numbers in column B under ports. This is assuming all your IP's are text and all your ports are numbers.
Select Cell A1
Press CTRL+SHIFT+↓ (i.e. Down Arrow)
Release CTRL and press → (i.e. Right Arrow) twice
Go to "Insert" and create a table. (unckeck my table has headers)
Add the following text to Cell B2: "=IF(ISNUMBER(A2);"";A2)"
Add the following text to Cell C2: "=IF(ISNUMBER(A2);A2;"")"
Copy the result of row B and C to another sheet. In paste options you need to select that it only pastes values (thing with numbers).

Image below shows it but it is in German.
I have been testing formulas and they have not been working.
The situation: When Dragging formula down, locking the row number and have columns move across on the next tab so stay on row 81 but move from A81 to J81. I am on my 2 tab and need to grab information from first tab. The row needs to be locked and when I drag down, row stays and the next column is selected. I added a picture.
Ie. I select A1 when I go down I want to select B1 and so on.
Thanks,
Column A contains leave dates, Column B contains clinicians. Data was extracted from VISTA and only includes leave date for first employee listed. Is there an easier way than copying and pasting to extend the dates in column A to include each employee? Most likely I would be working with over 50,000 total rows ( at least to begin with), so I would prefer to avoid copying and pasting.
Here is what the data currently looks like:

Here is what I would like the data to look like:
enter image description here
Follow these steps:
Select entire column with Dates
Press Ctrl + g
Click Special...
Select Blanks
Click OK
With the blank cells selected (and assuming the first blank cells is A3) put this into the formula bar: =if(B3<>"",A2,"")
Instead of pressing Enter to save the formula to just the first blank cell, press Ctrl + Enter to save it to all selected cells
Right click on any selected cell and change the format to Date (Screenshot below at this point)
Select the entire column A again, then copy and paste special as values to convert the formulas to date values that you can sort/filter on. (Let me know if you need more detail on this step)
I was wondering how to add the same drop-down value (e.g. Yes or No) to multiple cells in the column at the same time? I tried selecting individual cells that I need to fill with the same value using Ctrl, and then selecting the value from the drop-down menu, but it only fills the single highlighted cell.
Is there a quick way to select cells and then add the same drop-down value simultaneously to all of them?
I'm using Excel 2013.
Thank you!
Place the drop-down in the top cell. Then select the block of cells (including the top cell) with either the ARROW keys or the mouse and touch Ctrl + d
i also found no answers for this online so came up with my own solution.
It is using macros but only a basic knowledge of how to record is needed so its very easy.
Once your drop down lists are set up, you would start with Sheet 1 and simply record a macro where you are copying the value you selected in sheet 1 and then pasting into sheet 2. then assign this macro to a button on sheet 1. every time you click the button, it will copy and paste the selected value in your sheet 1 drop down into sheet 2.
you would then do the same thing in sheet 2, except that you are copying the value into sheet 1.
you can do this for any number of sheets.
hth.
I tried it as follows and it worked:
Select a cell and select the value for it (yes or no for example). Then select the group of cells you wan to have that same value - include the original cells with the value (yes or no)as the top cell in the range. Hit ctrl and D and all the cells will fill with the value in the top cell.
I accomplished this task in Excel 2013 by doing the following:
Select the cell with the drop down response
Scroll down to the last cell in the row that you want to have the same answer
Press the shift key
Select the last cell in the row that you want to have the same response
Release shift key and scroll back up to the first cell that you highlighted
Select your response in that cell
Hit Ctrl+D (to duplicate response).
I'll try and explain a little more clearly for you.
Select, with your mouse, the top most cell in the column you want to make all YES, scroll down if you need to and then, before clicking anything hold the SHIFT (not CTRL) key while you click the bottom cell in the row you wish to update.
This should highlight all of the cells in the column from the first, to the last you clicked. Now, release the SHIFT key and select YES (or no) in the top cell. The top cell (only) will change to YES (or No if you selected that). Now, without clicking doing anything else, hold down CTRL and while holding it press D.
If done correctly, all of the highlighted cells will now match the top cell.
