Default if isblank question

Good day,

Would anyone know of a way to include the if(isblank()) in reference to a
column with every fourth cell populated with a value that needs to be
replaced in the formula to the right of the column...?? for example,

a b
1 1
1
1
2 2
2
2

and so on....??

Kind regards

Thanks for your help!

In B1:
=A1
In B2:
=IF(A2="",B1,A2)
and copy down

This is the same as an ISBLANK test

In case you were not planning on revisiting your "Same Contents, Regardless
of Order" thread over in the m.p.e.programming newsgroup, I posted a message
there that I think you should read.

Make sure that calculation is set to Automatic

Make sure the formulas are adjusting as you copy downward in column B.
Column B should look like:

=A1
=IF(A2="",B1,A2)
=IF(A3="",B2,A3)
=IF(A4="",B3,A4)
=IF(A5="",B4,A5)
=IF(A6="",B5,A6)
=IF(A7="",B6,A7)
=IF(A8="",B7,A8)
=IF(A9="",B8,A9)
=IF(A10="",B9,A10)

Also make sure the "blank" values in column A are REALLY blanks and not
single spaces.
