You probably know how to quickly copy Excel formula down a column, if there is data in the next column. But how can you do the same thing, if there are blank rows?

如果下一列中有数据，您可能知道如何快速将Excel公式复制到一列中。 但是，如果有空白行，您该怎么做？

复制公式时出现问题 (Problem Copying a Formula Down)

Recently, I saw this tweet, from someone stuck on an Excel problem:

最近，我看到有人在Excel问题上遇到这个推文：

• An Excel problem I have never solved – easily copying a formula down tens of thousands of rows where the row next to it may be blank.我从未解决过的Excel问题–轻松地将公式向下复制到成千上万行，而该行旁边的行可能为空。

在填充单元格旁边填充 (Fill Down Beside Filled Cells)

Yes, it's easy to copy a formula down a column, if the adjacent column is filled. Follow these steps to copy the formula down to the first blank cell in the adjacent column.

是的，如果填充了相邻的列，则很容易将公式沿列向下复制。 请按照下列步骤将公式复制到相邻列中的第一个空白单元格。

• Select the cell with the formula选择具有公式的单元格
• Point to the fill handle, at the bottom right of the selected cell指向所选单元格右下方的填充手柄
• When the pointer changes to a black plus sign, double-click the fill handle当指针变为黑色加号时，双击填充手柄

The formula will automatically copy down to the last row of data.

该公式将自动复制到数据的最后一行。

用空的相邻列填充 (Fill Down with Empty Adjacent Column)

However, if the adjacent column is empty, this fill handle trick doesn't work. How can you quickly enter formulas in a column, if you're setting up a workbook, with lots of empty cells?

但是，如果相邻列为空，则此填充句柄技巧无效。 如果要设置一个有很多空单元格的工作簿，如何在列中快速输入公式？

Here's how I do it – maybe you have another trick to do the same thing:

这是我的操作方法-也许您还有另一个技巧可以做同样的事情：

• Select the cell with the formula选择具有公式的单元格
• Click in the Name Box, and type the range where you want the formula entered. In this example, the formula is in cell D2, and it should go down to cell D2000.单击名称框，然后键入要在其中输入公式的范围。 在此示例中，该公式位于单元格D2中，并且应向下移动至单元格D2000。

• Press the Enter key, to select the range of cells按Enter键，选择单元格范围
• On the keyboard, press Ctrl + D, to fill the formula down through the selected cells.在键盘上，按Ctrl + D，以向下填充所选单元格中的公式。
