Try this user defined function

Function AccountNumber(Cell)
N = 1
Do While InStr(Cell.Offset(-N, 0).FormulaR1C1, "=") < 0
N = N + 1
Loop
AccountNumber = Cell.Offset(-N, 0).Value
End Function

If you put =AccountNumber(A2) in Cell A2 etc. you should get the value
of the first non formula cell in the upwards direction.
