I'd like to be able to go down a column, and fill every blank cell

I want to be able to select those cells in that column and have it changed to:

Is it possible to write a macro to do this (or is there maybe
something already built in)?
You realise that you can do this manually very easily?
We'll have to assume that your top cell is always occupied; I'll also
assume that "*blank*" means empty. Suppose that your values are in
column A. In B1, enter =A1. In B2, enter =IF(A2="";B1;A2) . Fill
just B2 down the column. Now you have a few choices: you can use
column B for further calculation in place of column A, possibly
hiding either column A or column B, or you can copy the values in B
back over A (using Paste Special... to freeze the values), possibly
then deleting either column B or its contents.
I trust this helps.
