Populate data in Col. as per previous Col.

Hi,

 

I have a data set in excel in merged cells in column. However, when I input the data, the merged part becomes null. Thus I want to populate the data in null cells as the previous cells. 

 

If It was in row, I could have done it with multi row formula tool. However, the data is in col, so unable to do it. For the reference, I have attached a sample data where I want to work. And, in output file, I want this kind of result. 

 

Please help me!

Since Multi-Row seems your best choice, I'd Transpose the columns to rows and then Cross Tab them back together again.

Hi @Rahul_Analyst 

 

Here is how you can do it. I am using spaces in name so that it looks alike.

Hi ,

 

Please find the update formula to remove numbers form the header.

 

if contains([Name],'F') then
[Row-1:NewC]+ " "
else
[Name]
endif

 

Thanks.
