Hi, trying to (repeatedly!) fill cells with the contents of the next non-blank cell above.
And we can see how to go through the standard procedure of highlighting the cells, then: Home / Find & Select / Go To Special / Fill in Blanks / Enter Formula / Hit Ctrl Enter
But between fat fingers and having to repeat this over and over, we are seeing some mistakes.
Is there some code or another way of doing this to give us the result we are trying to aim at? :unsure:

Hopefully these 2 mini sheets show V1 with blanks cells throughout. And V2 showing how we would like it to end up...
