    fill empty cells with text of cells above

    Guys, I’ve got a lot of data which needs to be filtered but rows need to remain unchanged. My question: How to fill empty cells with values in cells above them? Does it require a macro or better to use a formula in a new sheet? Anyone? There’s not much time either, I need to present the results tomorrow! Very grateful to anyone that can help me out!!!

    See example attached!

    I've found this but not sure:

    hi Huug, welcome to the forum. assuming those data is in A2:A100
    1. select A2.*
    2. click & drag the scroll bar to the end where the data of column A ends (row 100)
    3. press & hold the SHIFT key & left click on the last cell in column A (A100). you should see them all selected
    4. press CTRL + G -> Special -> Blanks -> OK. now only blanks are selected
    5. do not click anywhere else. press the "=" sign
    6. press the UP arrow key
    7. hit CTRL & ENTER

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Or a macro without formulas.
