You could do a "user post" but if you are exporting to excel anyway, you could load a macro into the spreadsheet to populate the empty cells with the tags above the empty cells and delete that initial row(s) when done. You could set it up to process only the rows selected. If your'e not into lisp, maybe VBA in Excel would work better for you. I'd investigate this approach but maybe posting this in the Visual Lisp DG will get you a response using lisp. Good Luck.
