Hi,
If you know how to write and run a macro...
sub filldown()

range("a1:c10").select 'you can either enter the range
'here or leave this line out and highlight the range
'before you run the macro

selection.specialcells(xlcelltypeblanks).select
selection.formulaR1C1="=R[-1]C

end sub

Assume A1 has a name.

Select column A.

Hit F5 and Special>Blanks.

Enter an = sign in the active cell then point to cell above and hit CRTL +
ENTER.

With column A still selected, copy and in place Paste Special>Values>OK>Esc.
