Fill nulls across rows using data in row +1 without using 15 million multi row tools.

I want to fill the nulls across multiple fields using the data found in row+1 without using 12 or more multi-row formulas.  Is this possible. Below is an example of how the data appears with the Null values not filled.

 

Note:  The rows will share LN, Level of Detail and Value to start.

Thank you.  I am slowly learning that RecordID can be your best friend.

Definitely.

 

And transposing > doing something > crosstabbing back is a common scenario when you want to do the same thing across multiple columns (and can't use the Multifield).

No chance to do the field test

@Qiu Cool.  Check out the solution above.  It simple and elegant using Transpose + MultiRow+ CrossTab.

My understanding was to avoid using MultiRow due to huge data.

@Qiu  I was being dramatic when I said "15 million multi row tools".  I was trying to avoid using 10 or more multi tool rows.

Anyway, good your problem gets solved.
