Hi,

Select the range and press Ctrl+G and then click on Special Blanks. Now
all the blank cells will be selected and the first blank cell will be the
active cell. Now type =, then the up arrow key and then Ctrl+Enter

I am using a PC and working on Excel 2003. I have a spreadsheet and have
random blank cells. Everywhere there is a blank cell, I want to copy the
information from the cell directly above it. This information could be a
persons name, date or number. For example if my cursor is in cell A10:
IF A10 is blank, copy A9, else, don't copy.
How do I put this formula in the spreadsheet so that I can have the blank
cells filled with the information from the cell above and at the same time
not affect the information already there?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Peter
