    Hi,

    I have a worksheet with Coulmn A and B , wherein , Column A has a list of values that can be duplicated. Based on the values in Column A, I want to fill corresponding cells in Column B. Please see the attached.

    Please suggest a way to accomplish the same. Tried VLOOKUP but doesnt help.

    Re: Fill Column B based on non-unique values in Column A

    Hi,

    None of the column A values which have a blank in column B exist anywhere else in column A. What values do you expect to see in column B?

    Now either this is a bad example and the values will be present elsewhere, in which case in column C enter
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Copy this down column C, then Copy the whole of column C and use Paste Special Values to paste it back to B1. Then delete column C

    OR
    you simply want to fill the blanks with the previous values. In Which case

    1. Select B2:B16
    2. Hit the F5 key, choose Goto Special and select Blanks
    3. In the first blank cell (which will be active by default) enter =, {Up Arrow}, Ctrl-Enter
