Hi again,

This is a follow up to my last post (thank you for your quick replies).
Does anyone know of an "auto fill" formula along the lines of a sum if
formula? If I have a column of data with blanks how do I get the sheet
to fill in the blanks with the first cell above that contains data?
Example: If A2 has a "1" in it and there are blanks from A3 to A10 and
a "2" in A11 with blanks from A12 to A20,how do I get excel to count the
A3 to A10 blanks and fill in the "1" from above, then count A12 to A20
and fill in the "2" from A11? Any thoughts?

Thanks
