Question

So I got something like this (all in column A, seperate rows):

Title01

atext atext atext atext atext

btext btext btext btext btext

ctext ctext ctext ctext ctext

title02

atext atext atext atext atext

btext btext btext btext btext

ctext ctext ctext ctext ctext

title03

atext atext atext atext atext

btext btext btext btext btext

ctext ctext ctext ctext ctext

And I need solution to change it like this:

Title01

Title01 – atext atext atext atext atext

Title01 – btext btext btext btext btext

Title01 – ctext ctext ctext ctext ctext

Title02

Title02 – atext atext atext atext atext

Title02 – btext btext btext btext btext

Title02 – ctext ctext ctext ctext ctext

Title03

Title03 – atext atext atext atext atext

Title03 – btext btext btext btext btext

Title03 – ctext ctext ctext ctext ctext

**Basicaly – adding prefix (of title) to each column A row until next title…
Is there any ideas how can i accomplish this having about 3000 line totaly and they are not the same amout under each title…

Thank you!**

Answer 1

• Into cell B1 put the formula =A1
• Into cell B2 put the formula =IF(MID(A2, 1,5)="Title", A2, B1)
• Fill that formula down to the last row of your data.
• Into cell C1 put the formula =IF(MID(A1, 1,5)="Title", A1, B1 & " - " & A1)
• Fill down.

Now you have what you want in column C. You can copy, then paste special > values to get rid of the formulas.
