Glenda,

First, make sure the last cell on the sheet is not blank. Get there
quickly with CTRL+down arrow, CTRL+right arrow. Put an entry there. Now
select the whole sheet (use the corner block in the top left or CTRL+A).
From the Edit menu, select Go to, then at the dialogue, hit the
'Special' button and select 'Blanks'. Go and make some tea. It will take
a minute or so to highlight every blank cell.

When it has, type your dummy string or character, then instead of
pressing enter, press CTRL+enter. Time for another cup at his point.
When you come back, every blank cell will now contain your text.

Ray Blake

Subject: [mso] Excel:Blank Cells

Hi.
 
I have a spreadsheet consisting of approximately 35,000 rows of 140
columns.  Every cell needs to have a value. If there is data for the
field, great but how can I fill blank cells with a text character if
there is no value?
