Try this in C2:

=IF(B2="",A2,B2)

then copy the formula down.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I have a spreadsheet like the following:

heading 1 heading 2 heading 3
213
212 24
213 7
214
215
216 12

What I need is a formula which can look into cell b2, and if it finds a
blank cell, return the value in cell A2, if it finds a value in cell B2 then
return that value.
How do I ask the if function to look for a blank cell?
Thanks for youe help.
