sorry about the confusing subject title.

col a col b col c col d
account # debit
account # credit
journal reference

i want the journal reference to appear in col d rows 1 and 2. currently,
col d is empty. the rows do not always follow the pattern row 1 debit, row 2
credit. you can have 4 rows of debit and one row of credit

thank you in advance for your help.
 
You can do it without a macro...

Add this formula to cell D2 and copy down...
=IF(SUM(B2:C2)=0, A2,D3)

If you need to remove the reference lines that can be done...
 
Thanks, Jim but this doesn't work. i don't think that i explained myself
very well. i'll give this another try.

Col A Col B Col C Col D
Row 2 Food 96173
Row3 Cash 96173
Row 4 Ch. No. :003990
i want to put the desc found in Row 4, Col A in Rows 2 and 3 of column D.
the pattern is not always 2 rows. there could be 5 rows of debits and 1 row
of credits.
thank you in advance for your help--

I must be missing something because that is what my formula is doing. With
your source data and a bit more of my own I get:

Food 96173 Ch. No. :003990
Cash 96173 Ch. No. :003990
Ch. No. :003990 Ch. No. :003990
This 12345 asdf
That 12345 asdf
Other 12345 asdf
asdf asdf

Perhaps you could show me what the output is supposed to look like if not
that.
 
My apologies, Jim. this works like a charm. makes me feel foolish for
spending so much time trying to work out a macro. just one more thing... how
do i get rid of those reference lines?

thanks for all your help.

by the way, do you know why i don't receive emails notifying me of replies
even though i have that box checked?
 
i think that i figured out how to get rid of the reference. copy/paste
values ccol d. the go to col e =if(sum(b2:c2)<>0,d2," ")
 
That is it...
