Default Replace all empty or " by the content of the cell above it

For truly empty cells...........

Select all cells then F5SpecialBlanksOK

In active cell type an = sign then point to cell above.

Hit CTRL + ENTER

Cells with "" returned via formula are not considered "empty".

if column A has your data starting in cell A2

add a new column B

then in cell B2 do this
=IF(A2="",B1,A2)
and extend the formula down column B

now copy column B
Select column A
edit paste special values

now delete the column B you no longer need
