Question 1

What does "fill blank cells with value above" mean?

Accepted Answer

When data is exported from databases or pivot tables, cells that share a value with the row above are often left blank. "Fill with value above" fills each blank cell with the last non-empty value in the same column, creating a complete dataset.

Question 2

Can I fill blank cells with a specific value instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose "Fill with a custom value" and enter any text or number. Every blank cell in the selected scope will be filled with that value.

Question 3

Can it process all sheets at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select "All sheets" to apply the fill operation to every sheet in the workbook simultaneously.

Question 4

Will formatting be preserved?

Accepted Answer

When filling with the value above, the tool copies the cell object including its formatting. When filling with a custom value, basic number or text type formatting is applied.

Question 5

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your file is never sent to any server.
