Copy data from above row when row is empty

Hi, 

 

I am fairly new to Alteryx.  I have been doing searches on this subject and I had tried different suggestions but they didn't work.  

 

I have a PDF file I have extracted data from.  In the PFD, the account # only shows for the 1st line of invoices the customer has.  I need to copy down the account number to the blank item.

This is what I need for results.

Hi @Whooppee 

 

Please use Multi row formula tool to achieve the output.

Hi, 

 

I didn't get any errors on the formula.  However, the account # didn't copy down and remains blank.

instead of isnull, use isempty and see if that works
