Trying to make a dynamic formula in excel that can print repeating text like shown below where number of rows should be equal to number to the right of the text. I use MS365 Office.

Please try to keep solution not too complex.

Appreciate any help I can get!

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.
