    How to replace the duplicate values in column using the unique values of another column

    Hello everyone,

    Good day.

    My query is like this. I am trying to replace the duplicate values which are Zeroes (1712 total zeroes in total 8762 rows in a column) with the help of other column`s unique values. Please, refer to the file I uploaded and especially the two-column marked with the yellow color. I have marked the way of replacement with the help of arrows for better understanding.

    Please, let me know in case of any possible guidance or solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Be safe.


    Regards,
    Kartik

    Welcome to the forum.

    This cannot be done with a formula, as you cannot have both a formula and manual entry in the same cell. I think you will need VBA, unless you are happy for a helper column.

    Thank you very much for your kind reply. May I ask what do you mean by the helper column?

    A new column that collates the values from the two source columns.
