Well, I can do it in column B - I hope that will work for you. In B1, enter =A1. In B2, enter =IF(A2<>"",A2,B1). Then put your mouse cursor over the lower right corner of B2 so the cursor turns into a small black + instead of a block white +. Click and drag to the end of your data in col A to finish. If you like, you can select all the data and do a copy/paste special (in the Edit menu) and choose paste values to get rid of the formulas.
