I'm trying to find a non-vba solution to this problem and I've searched and searched online but I think I might not know the correct terms to search effectively.

I want to populate every row of column A with the correct name in column B. so A1&A2 are Frank, A3&A4 would be Leslie and A5 would be Joe.

Is there a formula that could look-up starting in the row your in going up until it gets a value?

Row #Column AColumn B
1Frank
2
3Leslie
4
5Joe

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
