Default Formula for finding next cell with data?

Does Excel have a formula that will automatically return the value of
the next cell with data? What I mean is I have a spreadsheet with a
row for each day of the month (1-31) and a few times a week someone
will go in and put data in for that day, leaving blank lines inbetween
the days that data was collected. I would like to be able to, for
example, find the difference between two values in a column, but they
are not neccasarily the same distance apart from each other each month.
So a simple formula (=C5-C2) doesnt work. Instead I need something
that will detect the value that is in the next cell with data up (ex:
C2) and use that value. Does a formula like this exist? If not, I
would do it in VBA but I don't think Pocket Access supports VBA, does
it?

I understand I could just put the data grouped together without blank
lines (as we are are presently doing), but I'm trying to make the
sheets compatible with another program so we can copy/paste data into
it and it needs to be in 31 day of month format.

Thanks,

Tom
