Stop what you’re doing now. Instead, have a lookup table with the product to name matching logic and then use that to fill in your names in your main dataset.

This one ^

Don't have an elegant solution but you can copy what you have to a new tab, delete all blanks in the right column, remove duplicates and then run a vlookup off of your new tab into all the blank cells of the original tab by filtering for blanks and copying the formulas to all blank cells.

Copy (Ctrl -C)the value you want in all the other cells. Highlight all the cells you want to fill with that value, Ctrl+G, Special, select visible cells only, Ctrl+C and Done. Don’t over complicate it!

This is the way. The Ctrl+G selecting specials is a game changer.

Would recommend lookup table as someone else did on the three but also could probably goto home> find and select> go to special and select blanks> then “=select cell above” and CTRL+Enter. If you have the first Name filled in for each ID it will fill in the blanks with cell above

I feel I’m justified in reneging but the group lead did everything they could to recruit and move things along, so I feel bad. Here to vent.
