Hi all,

I hope the title makes somewhat sense, but allow me to elaborate. I have a setup like this:

I want my numbers in column D to replace whatever value is in column B

However, if I mark all of column D and move it other to column B it will say the following:

1667376765182.png


If I say yes to this, I end up with this result:

How do I do this without deleting the values that are already in cell B1:B3, B6 and B8?

I realize that I can do this by individually moving each number in column D to replace the value in column B, but it would take forever :(

Thank you all!

Best regards,
Jyggalag

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Use this in E1 and drag down. Then you can use those to paste over B1:B10.

=IF(D1<>"",D1,B1)
