    If you fill out A2 with the same, then go to A1, hold shift, click A2 and copy down it'll display the way you want. Are you looking for a formula to do a mass duplication of this or just those select cells (A1-A10)?

    Another way similar to sandy's.

    Select A1:A10. Type "3 of bc" in cell A1. While pressing and hold Ctrl hit Enter. The entire range will populate.

    Or just drag down the way you always do, go ahead and let them change.
    But when you're done, a little popout box shows up on the bottom right, choose 'Copy Cells' insetad of 'Fill Series'

    In VBA, I wouldn't bother with the Fill function.
    Similar to FlameRetireds suggestion..
    Put the value in all cells at once.

    Range("A1:A10").Value = Range("A1").Value

    That would be like filling down A1 to A10

    That's another cool way to do it. Thanks for the tip. Requires right mouse button drag.
