Default Autofill: can it detect change in value?

Try the below

1. Select the data range in ColA (say A1:A100).
2. Press F5. From 'Goto window'Special from Options select 'Blanks' and
hit OK
3. This will select all blanks.
4. Now press = (equal sign)
5. Then press Up Arrow to reference the cell just above
6. Now press Ctrl and Enter key together
