Populate list based on values for multiple groups

Hello, 

 

I am needing to fill in an amount from one table into a list of dates in another list. I have several groups, each with a value that needs to be put next to each day of the year. Any suggestions on how I would accomplish this?

Hi @nickstalec 

 

You can use a Join tool.

Hi @nickstalec,

 

You can use join tool/find and replace tool to achieve this result.

Thanks for the response. My problem is that my initial date list starts off blank, as shown below. I think I'd need to use a macro to fill in the Group name first, and then bring in the amount, and then repeat for each group. I am just kind of lost on where to start with that.
