    one way to go could be:

    filter column A:

    choise non blanc cells.

    copy

    Paste in colum B

    This will give you the result you asked for.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Re: Returning a column of numbers and empty cells into a column of only numbers

    Thank you for replying, but this is not excacly what im looking for.
    To specify:
    Im looking for a set of formulas that will automaticly make a column B without blank cells based on the "mixed blank/number"-column in A. This is becouse column A will be continiously upgraded where some of the blank cells will be given numbers.
    Having to filter and copy columns will be to time demanding.

    Any thoughts?

    This is exactly how i was picturing it. But when im writing the same formula in my woorksheet it won't work. Only blank cells turns up as i drag the formulacell down.
    How come this is happening?

    The formula what Punnam Ravikumar provided is an Array Formula, Give F2, HOLD CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER,(not just enter) and you can see {} brackets surrounded after giving ctrl+shiift+enter, and then drag it down it will work,
    Click just below left if it helps, Boo?ath?

    Re: Returning a column of numbers and empty cells into a column of only numbers

    one step closer with ctrl+shift+enter, but it is having problems when the year change from 2014 to 2015 and the weeknumbers restart at 1.
    Any fixes that will return a list without blanks given that the numbers are entertwined in size?

    ex.
    <blank>
    3
    <blank>
    <blank>
    7
    <blank>
    <blank>
    4
    <blank>
    <blank>
    31
    <blank>
    <blank>
    23

    ->3
