    Hi Ali - Happy Saturday 😎, Thanks for reaching out! Our text columns are designed for individual text entries in various cells, not for populating entire columns at once, as they function more like formulas. To populate all rows, you’ll need to create a new formula column. Here’s how: 1. Write a formula that specifies a condition, such as: If /[column] isn’t empty, then return “your data”. 2. Make sure you’re referencing a different column (not the same one you’re populating). 3. Ensure the referenced column isn’t empty for the formula to work properly. Let me know if you’d like a detailed example or further assistance! 😊
