Hi Bryan This sort of thing has come up before on one of the lists I'm on (not sure whether this or another one) and I kept a copy of the answer (not sure who to give the credit to though). I've certainly found it very handy. First, you will need to "copy and paste values" with your pivot table. You can paste values straight over the top of the existing pivot, or somewhere else. Then, follow this procedure: (this is what I kept from the other time it was discussed on a list): QUESTION ========== What I need is a way to "Fill each cell in the column I select with the contents of the cell above if the current cell is empty". i.e. I have AAA one two three four BBB six seven eight nine ten eleven and want to be able to select a column either by clicking on it or having it written in the macro/code (in this case A) and then end up with AAA one two AAA three four BBB six seven BBB eight nine BBB ten eleven ANSWER ========= Let's say the column you want to fill is column A. The way I always do this sort of thing is to use a blank column (say column D), copy the value in cell A1 and enter the following formula in the next cell below: =IF(A2="",D1,A2) Copy this formula down, copy column D, paste it back onto itself as values and then copy and paste it to column A. Alternatively, you can put the formula =A1 in cell A2 (or any suitable blank cell), copy it, select the range you want to fill, and then select Edit, Go To, click Special and select Blanks. This will highlight blank cells in the column. Paste your formula and then copy the column and paste it back onto itself as values. This doesn't seem to fill blanks after the last value, however. --- Bryan deSilva <improvisations@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: How do I make the first column display on every row. Right now it summarizes and only displays on the break / the first time it would logically show up. I need it on every row. If I can't do this, I'd like to copy / paste the pivot to a new sheet and run a macro to fill out this column. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
