Hello probably a very simple solution to my issue.

On sheet 1 column b I have a list of children going down column b then at the end of the first group I have the class they are in, then the list contues with the next group of children and then their class.

However I woukd like a vba code that would look down the list, ignore all the children names and then when it finds a text containing the word class, then apply that class in column A to all the children above, then repeat for the fill list in column b.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
If a non vba solution will work, you can give this a try:
