I have a report that I export to Excel that contains financial activity on
loans. Unfortunately, it does not repeat the account number when more
than
one transaction has occurred during the period. How can I automatically
fill
in the missing account numbers from the cell above so I can run subtotals
or
pivot tables? Sometimes there can be several transactions so it might be
one
blank cell or several.
