Fill


Fill is used to generate multiple values from an existing formula. It extends a user-defined formula to multiple cells with appropriate modifications in the formula. One advantage worth mentioning in SheetKraft's Fill operation is dynamic inclusion of new data into the formula i.e. even if new data are added to the table after defining the Fill operation, they can be operated upon without setting up Fill again.{.content-description}

Sample Data

We will consider a sample sheet containing details of ISINs and its description. Our aim is to find the 4-digit code from ISIN which is unique for the Security Issuer. For eg. BANK OF INDIA SR-4 9.95 BD PERPETUAL FVRS10LAC and BANK OF INDIA SR-II 11.5 BD PERPETUAL FVRS10LAC both will have the code 084A for Bank of India.
