    Auto fill cells without formula

    Hello,

    i attached an example to help. Very hard to explain.....

    What i'm trying to do is have excel fill out the rest of the rotation with "eo" if the user selects "eo" in any of the drop list cells.



    Please see attached example: When user selects "eo" in g21, h21 to o21 should select "eo" automatically.

    Ps: I cant use formulas because i need the drop lists to still be available in those

    cells, and the formula would be erased as soon as user uses the drop list.


    Please help, i thank you in advance....

    Hi,

    You can't do this without a VBA macro. A cell can contain a value for a formula but not both at the same time.
    If VBA is acceptable then post back.
