repeat - Repeating a block of text element by element in Excel -


i wondering if copy in excel allows block of text (each new text element in different cell) repeat element element.

currently 1 can repeat block of text clicking , dragging such abc can become abcabcabcabc repeated 4 times. element element 4 times yield aaaabbbbcccc. i'm doing rather large block of text manually not option.

this because wish have 2 columns, 1 abcabcabcabc , aaaabbbbcccc in 'to' , 'from' situation such possible journeys between points recorded.

could use cell-reference floor/ceiling rounding?

thank you.

a pedestrian approach formulas.

put order of series column e, starting in e1.

copy cells in column e column a, starting in cell a2. drag down far desired, repeating pattern set in column e.

place first value of pattern in cell b1.

in cell b2 put formula , copy down far required

=if(countif($b$1:b1,a2)<counta(e:e),b1,index(e:e,roundup((row()-1)/counta(e:e),0))) 

enter image description here

copy column b. paste special values.
