Hello Sigmasolve,


If the blanks in Column A are not a problem for you, then enter the following formula in B2 (I am assuming that you have headings in A1 and B1):-

=IF(A2<>"",A2,"")

and then drag it down as far as you need.

If this is truly what is required then simply copying A and pasting into B would work too without the hassle of using formulas.

However, if this is not the case, then I feel the question needs to be clarified.

"copy data in column 'B' when column 'A' is not blank"
implies that the data in column B needs to be copied to somewhere else when A is blank.
Could be wrong though, who knows.

That's right ,Ray. Who knows?

At least the OP has a starting point to give us feed-back on.

A simple =A2 would probably suffice also.

Let's wait and see.

Cheers,
