Default Removing duplicates but leaving data on following rows

But if the original poster wants to fill those cells with the values from above
(for any reason), Debra Dalgleish shares how to do that, too:

I wouldn't do this.


It may screw up any sorts/filters/charts that you decide you want to use in the

Instead, I'd leave the duplicated values, but hide them using conditional
formatting.


I see you had the same idea I did. *Yours was posted first but I
didn't see it until after I had posted mine.

Thanks Dave and Ron for your excellent imput as always and i will have
a look at Debra Dalgleish's examples and it may be necessary to keep
the data after thinking about it.

Many thanks for all the help
