Copy value N times in Excel
I have simple list: A B item1 3 item2 2 item3 4 item4 1 Need to output: A item1 item1 item1 item2 item2 item3 item3 item3 item3 item4 flodel Here is one way of doing it without VBA: Insert a column to the left of A, so your current A and B columns are now B and C. Put 1 in A1 Put =A1+C1 in A2 and copy down to A5 Put an empty string in B5, by just entering a single quote ( ' ) in the cell Put a 1 in E1, a 2 in E2, and copy down as to get 1, 2, ..., 10 Put =VLOOKUP(E1,$A$1:$B$5,2) in F1 and copy down. It should look like this: | A | B | C | D | E | F | |----|-------|---|---|----|-------| | 1 |
