I want to remove the blanks in "A" using a formula in "B"

example:

A1 - sand
A2 -
A3 - silt

Formula in "B"

B1 - sand
B2 - silt

Thankyou

Assume values in ColA are actual valuesIn cell B1 enter the below formula and
copy down as required; Please note that this is an array formula. An array
formula can perform multiple calculations and then return either a single
result or multiple results. You create array formulas in the same way that
you create other formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the
formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly braces at
both ends like "{=<formula}"

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"?*")<ROW(A1),"",INDEX(A$ 1:A$1000,
SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$1000<"",ROW($A$1:$A$1000)),ROW(A 1))))

Your solution worked wonderfully. Just interested to know what you meant by;

Assume values in ColA are actual values

"A" are values returned by a formula and this had not any influence on your
formula working.

Thanks again

Oops.. Initially I created a solution whch works on actual values (not
formulas); later I changed it to consider formulas too...but forgot to retype
the text...

I used COUNTA() which was later changed to COUNTIF()
