Hello, Udayan,
I'm afraid there is no way to get the result you need using a formula. You'd better use a macro. I'm sorry, we can't help you with this, please try to find the solution in VBA sections on mrexcel.com or excelforum.com.

This is superb! It has saved me a crazy amount of work, but my only question is it possible to use this feature directly with blank cells actually containing a formula? E.g. IF statement, when the condition is false, returns "" meaning technically a blank cell? Thanks for your help =)

Hi,
Excel formula to fill in blank cells with value above / below.
Doing the steps referring with the value above is working. However, if I do the same with value below it is not working. Can anyone help? I want the below value to be copied on the above blank cells.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks... It saved me lot of time
How do I fill up?
@ashwith
It looks like all the cells are not in the DATE format. Format the required cells/column/row as DATE and select the required format on the drop down menu. If leading zeros are required in the date, you can FORMAT CELLS>NUMBERS>CUSTOM, then input dd/mm/yyyy (or mm/dd/yyyy)under "Type:"
this is great, but how we can apply for date , i got below type answer, kindly solve

Thank you very very much.
Has anyone ran into the issues of hitting "crtl enter" and it doe not autofill the cells? I have ran this exact formula before but today it is not working?
You are amazing man.
You don't know that you have saved my 3 days of work and I have done that work in 5 minutes. Great job man.. God bless you.

2.254+152.00

It is too late. However, try rounding off values. Point ke above wali value hat jaayenge.
Thank you very much. You just saved me many hours
This was a huge help! Thank you!
Thanks a lot you made my day
It's the perfect one what im finding for and got it. Thanks
Find and Replace. Genius shortcut for what I needed. Thanks
The Best Option...
This worked, thanks!
Thank you so much. Fantastic.
thank you so much you made my day
I understand Good
I press f2 on my mac when trying to replace the empty numbers with zeros and it only leads me to brighten my screen.
Hello Maria,
Most likely you need to press the fn key at the same time, i.e. use the keyboard combination fn + F2.
When I do this method of the '=b2' it simply enters b2 all the way down. What did I do wrong?
You must be directly entering the command by "Enter" command, make sure you are using "Cntrl+Enter" at the same time, your issue will be solved
Hi,
I know its a bit late after the fact but the issue is your column must be in 'text' format, same thing happened to me I changed it to 'General' and the above steps worked correctly.
You just made my day!!
Now I can fill all those blank cells and make the Pivot Table work with "sum" instead of "count" which is so annoying when working with large files...
Thank you so much!
Thank you Sweety! :)
