Hi

I want to know if there is a way to to fill empty cells with value left.
i have this example:

e d c b a
1 Y X
2 Y X

I want to get this:
e d c b a
1 Y Y Y X X
2 Y X X
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
how do you see your rules, line one has 3 Y and 2 X for Y and X, how do you develop that

Does this macro do what you want? Test on a copy of your workbook.
I have assumed there will always be at least one blank cell otherwise you wouldn't run the code.
Code:
Sub FillBlanksLeft()
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
    .SpecialCells(xlBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(COUNTA(RC[1]:RC[" & .Columns.Count & "]),RC[1],"""")"
    .Value = .Value
  End With
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Before:


Book1
ABCDEF
1YX
2YX
Fill blanks



After:


Book1
ABCDEF
1YYYXX
2YXX
Fill blanks
