experts may give beter solution meanwhile

1. introduce a row at the top and give a name e.g. INPUT
2. your data will be a1 to a7
3. hightlight a1 to a7
4.click data(menu)-filter-autofilter
4.you get a small inverted arrow at INPUT
5. click that arrow and click <nonblanks>
7. you will get only non blank rows in columnA
7.highlight those visible cells and click edit copy
8. highlight B1 and click edit -paste
9.you may get only 15 dont worry
10.again data-filter-autofilter
11. that means autofilter is removed from column a
12. your B column will have what you want

is it ok try it .

Hi!

Enter this array formula with the key combo of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER in B1 and copy down until you get #NUM!
errors:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$6<>"",ROW($A$1:$A$6)),ROW
(1:1)))

Or expanding slightly to get rid of the #NUM errors

=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$6<>"",ROW($A$1:$A$6)),ROW(1:1)))),"",INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$6<>"",ROW($A$1:$A$6)),ROW(1:1))))

Now just copy down as far as your original data range.
