Replace cells where there is no formulas behind, with a cell where there is a formula behind

Several cells where there is no formulas behind  should be replaced in one workflow with a cell where there is a formula behind with relative references.

 

How can it be done?

    Dear Jan Karel Pieterse

     

     

    Thank's for your answer :-).

     

    I forgot to describe that in the cells without formula behind, there is a time format with the time 00:30:00. The cells do not necessarily stand side by side, but may have empty cells between them.

     

     

    Best Regards

    These steps:
    1. Select the area containing those cells
    2. Press the F5 function key (Goto)
    3. Click Special
    4. Choose Blanks and click OK
    5. Start typing your formula as you usually would
    6. Instead of pressing the Enter key, press control + Enter to insert this formula (using relative references!) into all selected cells.

        In order to select those cells you could use find, if they all contain the same value you can click Find all. Then you can drag over the list of found items, close the dialog and enter the formula as I described already.
