Copy value from cell above if blank

[Mux99]

In column A every two cells are merged (A1 with A2, A3 with A4 etc...) so my formula only works properly for odd number rows. I need the below to use the value from the cell above if A6 is empty and so on.

=IF(Sheet1!$B6<>"", Sheet1!$A6,"")

Maybe:

=IF(Sheet1!$B6<>"", IF(MOD(ROW(Sheet1!A6),2)=0,Sheet1!$A5,""))

 

[Mux99]

Maybe:

=IF(Sheet1!$B6<>"", IF(MOD(ROW(Sheet1!A6),2)=0,Sheet1!$A5,""))

Did not work. It fixed the even number rows but now the odd ones are blank.

Maybe
=IF(Sheet1!$A6="",Sheet1!$A5,Sheet1!A6)

 

[Mux99]

Maybe
=IF(Sheet1!$A6="",Sheet1!$A5,Sheet1!A6)

Also did not work for what I'm trying to do but maybe it's my fault as maybe I wasn't clear enough with what I need. Ignore my first post and see the examples below. I need a formula to output the same results as in Sheet2.

In Sheet2 Column B I'm using the formula and it works perfectly. =IF(Sheet1!$B1<>"", Sheet1!$B1,"")

I need some help with the column A formula as the following only works with odd number rows. =IF(Sheet1!$B1<>"", Sheet1!$A1,"")

In cell A1 of Sheet2, try this formula and copy down.

=IF(Sheet1!B1="","",LOOKUP("zzz",Sheet1!A$1:A1))

=IF(Sheet1!B1="","",LOOKUP("zzz",Sheet1!A$1:A1))

Thanks. This one worked but I already got it working with the formula below.

=IF(Sheet1!$B2<>"",IF(Sheet1!$A2<>"",Sheet1!$A2,Sheet1!$A1),"")

=IF(Sheet1!$B2<>"",IF(Sheet1!$A2<>"",Sheet1!$A2,Sheet1!$A1),"")

That sort of indicates that in fact your data & results probably actually start on row 2 of each sheet, not row 1 as indicated in your tables in post 5? (Or else that formula is entered on row 2 of Sheet2 and copied up to row 1 which, while working actually creates a #REF ! error in the formula.

If everything (apart from any headings) actually starts on row 2, then you could also use this simpler version in A2 of Sheet2, copied down

=IF(Sheet1!B2="","",Sheet1!A1&Sheet1!A2)
