If your data is in D3:D10, use the following array formula. It will
return the value in the row below that last #N/A error value. Change
the references to D3 and D3:D10 to your cell references.

=OFFSET(D3,MAX(ISNA(D3:D10)*(ROW(D3:D10)))+1-ROW(D3),0,1,1)

Since this is an Array Formula, you *must* press CTRL SHIFT ENTER
rather than just ENTER when you first enter the formula
and whenever you edit it later. If you do this properly,
Excel will display the formula in the Formula Bar enclosed
in curly braces { }. (You do not type the curly braces -
Excel includes them automatically.) The formula will not work
properly if you do not use CTRL SHIFT ENTER. See
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ArrayFormulas.aspx for lots
more information about array formulas.

I have a column in my worksheet with many #N/A entries. I'm looking for a
function which will return the next "good" (non #N/A) data value from a later
row in that column. I want to save that to the row with the bad data, so I
cannot filter out all the NA rows. I've got Excel-2007.
