conditional search
 

Hi everyone. I've run into a bit of a problem with one of my
worksheets. I have a column whose cells are either blank, "Buy" or
"Sell" I want the column next to it to put "***" in cells that are one
row up from a "Buy" and "xxx" in cells that are one up from a "Sell"
but I only want these to occur if below the "Buy" there is a "Sell"
ignoring the blank cells, and visa-versa for "xxx" when "Sell" is above
a "Buy" ignoring blank cells.

Thanks in advance for your help. I can elaborate if needed.
