I am writing vba code (thru using macros) to format a ws. In a portion of the formatting I identify the blank cells and replace them with the cell data from the above cell using the following successfully (I found this online and it works as intended and perfect):

Sub fillme()
With Range("A:A")
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub

However, I need to do more & am stuck... I have 2 additional columns that I want to do this exact fill --- But the two additional col that appear to have blanks are not really blank.... there must be something imbedded -- I can complete delete on the ghost char(s) manually and move on -- but I need to do this in a macro/vba code so that my colleagues can execute the formatting of a spreadsheet effortlessly.

Any ideas?
 
First time on this forum, and I will be working/learning more with vba & macros so I am sure I will be back and I hope I have the opportunity to learn more from you :)
