FIlling in Empty Values

Hi,


I am trying to fill in empty values I have in a column with the value above the empty cell.

 

Do you know which formula may achieve this?

 

Thanks

Alex

Multi Row Formula - IF [Data]=Null() THEN [row-1:Data] ELSE [Data] ENDIF

Without knowing more about the data itself, this would be the general statement I'd use!

Thanks for you're quick reply, it doesn't seem to like that formula. Please see below.

 

The data is configured a V_String.

As mentioned, you need a Mutli Row Formula tool - completely different tool than the Formula tool!  Multi-Row Formula Tool (alteryx.com)
