    Multiplying text into cells

    Hi,

    I need to multiply the text in a cell by another cell which is a number, then it will give me the same text in the next cells across by that number.

    eg, the word 'apple' is in the first cell (A1). then I type 7 in the next cell (A2), which will generate the word apple in the next 7 cells across (A3-A9)
    the word 'banana' is in the next row down in cell (B1). then I type 4 in the next cell (B2), which will generate the word banana in the next 4 cells across (B3-B6) etc etc

    Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks.
