Hi all,

I'd like to get your support to keep 1 "a" & 1 "b" in 1 cell of each column while balance should be deleted. (I'd like to get result by using excel formular).
Thank you in advance.

Column 1Column 2
a, a, a, ab, b, b

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Something like this?
