Columns with missing data that needs filled in
 

I have a worksheet with thousands of rows of data. One column has data as
shown below. Notice the blank lines. What I need is a formula that would make
the data look like the column I show next to it. I know iI have seen this
written before but I can't remember the formula to do it. Please Help. Thx.

Columns with missing data that needs filled in
 

Assume your data is in col A, starting in row 2
Insert a blank column to the left, so that the data is now in column B
In A2 enter the formula

=if(b2<B1,B2,b1)

Copy it down to the last desired row
Select all these new formulas and copy them
Use Edit-Paste Speical-Values to replace formulas with the results.
Delete the original column of data.

Select that column, use Edit/Goto Special, click Blanks and OK. Then,
whatever your selection is, type =, then press ctrl/enter & you're done.

Duke,
Not working quite right. Column 1, see the missing numbers this col. should
look like the one next to it. The formula should be for col. A not B. Also,
it is not putting in the correct # it is putting in zeros.
