.value = .value

[bsquad]

I am guessing there isn't a possibility of this based on the purpose of .value;

But I am looking if there is a possibility of also taking the format on a .value = .value
I am trying to avoid a copy and paste

I have an example below

    Dim c As Range
        For Each c In Range("A2:B" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
            If c.Value = "" Then c.Value = c.Offset(-1, 0).Value
    Next c

Assuming the cells of interest are actually blanks (not zero-length strings),

Sub bsq()
  On Error GoTo noBlanks

  With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A:B")
    .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=r[-1]c"
    .Value = .Value
  End With

noBlanks:
End Sub

That will replace any formulas in the range with values.

I had given a full column a Defined Name for another question I asked and even though I deleted that column, apparently the UsedRange did not "update" as your code filled the two columns down to the very last row on the sheet. On another sheet where I did not do that, your code worked perfectly. Just something for those using your code to watch out for. Anyway, here is an alternate which does not involve putting formulas on the sheet only to convert them to values afterwards...

[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub bsquad()
  Dim Col As Long, Ar As Range
  For Col = 1 To 2
    For Each Ar In Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(2, Col), Cells(Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, , xlRows, xlPrevious, , , False).Row, Col)).SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Areas
      Ar = Ar(1).Offset(-1)
    Next
  Next
End Sub[/td]
