    Populating blank cells within a column

    I am trying to find a formula that will allow me to populate the cells in a column with the value from the first cell above it in that column. I have attached a sample workbook and a picture of the worksheet. In the sample, I am trying to concatenate cells A,B, and C into D with each having a color, number, and letter. Please help. If I have been unclear, I can try to clarify. Thank you.

    theinfini,

    Attached is a modified version of your sample workbook. It contains the following formula in column D:
    =IF(A2<>"",A2&B2&C2,INDEX($A$2:A2,MAX(IF($A$2:A2<>"",ROW($A$2:A2)-1,0)),)&B2&C2)

    Note: That formula is an array formula and thus needs to be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    Hope that helps,
