First, your code looks like your data is in column G--in my testing, I used
Columns A:C. It seemed to match your initial layout better.
A warning: If your data contains formulas in those columns, then they'll be
converted to values with this routine.
Option Explicit
Sub FillColBlanks()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim LastRowInCol As Long
Dim LastRowToUse As Long
Dim myCol As Range
Dim RngToFix As Range
Set wks = ActiveSheet
With wks
Set RngToFix = .Range("a:c")
'fix those 0's first
'if they're really 000's then fix this next line
RngToFix.Replace What:="0", Replacement:="", _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
MatchCase:=False
LastRowToUse = 0
For Each myCol In RngToFix.Columns
LastRowInCol = .Cells(.Rows.Count, myCol.Column).End(xlUp).Row
If LastRowInCol LastRowToUse Then
LastRowToUse = LastRowInCol
End If
Next myCol
'resize the rngtofix and avoid row 1
Set RngToFix = RngToFix.Resize(LastRowToUse - 1).Offset(1, 0)
Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = RngToFix.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0
If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No blanks found"
Exit Sub
Else
rng.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
End If
'replace formulas with values
With RngToFix
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
End Sub
I used the columns to determine the last row to fix. I wasn't sure if that's
the best way for your data. The code at Debra's site just relied on the last
used cell (same as control-end manually).
I wasn't sure what to use.

Hi Dave,
This is what I have so far, most of which is code I borrowed from you
anyway. But I'm still not getting the autofill to work. I need it to
automatically fill until it reaches a new department code. Then I want that
code to autofill until the next code is reached, as so on...
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim Col As Long
Dim sPV As String 'Previous Value
Set wks = ActiveSheet
With wks
Col = .Range("G6").Column
Set Rng = .UsedRange
LastRow = .Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
Set Rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set Rng = .Range(.Cells(2, Col), .Cells(LastRow, Col)) _
.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0
'replace formulas with values
With .Cells(1, Col).EntireColumn
.Value = .Value
End With
ActiveCell.Offset(1).Select
sPV = ActiveCell
Do Until ActiveCell = ""
If ActiveCell = 0 Then
ActiveCell = sPV
End If
Loop
End With
End Sub

I'd select that range to fix and use Edit|Replace to remove those 000 values.
Are they really just 0's with a custom format--or are they the text "000"?
Either way, be careful when you do this. You want to match the whole cell (not
turn A001 into A1).
Then you can use the techniques at Debra Dalgleish's site to file those cells:
http://contextures.com/xlDataEntry02.html
There's a manual technique and some code at that site.

Hi!
I need to write a macro to autofill a column or columns that contain a
Department Code, Product Code and Class, for example
Colmn A Column B Column C
Department Code Product Code Class
A001 000 010
000 100 000
000 100 000
000 000 020
A002 000 000
000 200 000
000 200 000
000 000 030
What I'd like the macro to do is autofill the department code in Column A
until it reaches the next department code. The Product Code and Class
correspond to the specific Department Code (until it changes). I'd also like
to autofill the Product Code and Class until each changes as well.
What would be the best way to write this macro?
The values being filled over are zero; however, I need the macro to
identify when there's a new Department code and then continue to fill those
fields with the new Department Code each time it changes. The spreadsheet
only shows the Department Code once, the following cells contain zeros until
the next Department Code. However, I want the cells filled with the correct
data (not zeros) until it reaches a new code...
Thanks!
