    Default copy values in every row

    Hi,

    i have a Excel File look like this:

    Code:
      name2
       dog
      (empty)
      (empty)
        cat
      (empty)
      (empty)
       bird
      (empty)
      (empty)
    I like to copy the value dog in each row under name2 untill the value cat arrives, when cat arrives the same should happen and in every row cat should be copied an so on. I do not reallly know how to solve this problem. I hope someone can help me.

    thanks in advance

    Try the repeat option in the Excel input step.
