Default Refer to adjacent cells as variables in formula

In a large column of data some cells randomly have entries of "no data"-
(caused by a comms failure at that time).
I'd like to interpolate data for these cells by filling them with actual
values in cells either above or below them.
Can I create a formula that refers to cells either immediately above or
below the cells?
My problem is that I don't know how to refer to a cell as 'the cell above
this one' or 'the cell below this one', as a variable instead of as a
specific cell location.

If I do find out how to refer to cells like this I suppose that I'll have to
make the full formula an 'If' statement- the logic being: "If cell xx ="No
Data" then cellxx = cell above cellxx"

Thanks very much for any help, Dominic
