Have you run into this problem? You are completing an export of records with a variety of items some of them having multiple lines of values. After completing your export, you realize there are blank rows that should have the values of the cells above or below. Which is extremely frustrating if the unique identifier is missing values that it should be associated with. A situation like this can leave you wondering “Now what?” This is why Leverage & Lean created the Copy Cell Above or Below macro that can assist you with populating all of these empty cells. Once you run this Excel macro an InputBox will appear to determine if you want the cell values from above or below the blank cells. Indicate your selection with a 1 or 2 then watch at the blank cells transform into their appropriate values. (This macro is customizable allowing you to default either the Above or Below cell avoiding the InputBox altogether)
14, 18 and 19 Here is where you can make the InputBox a comment and instead default running the Above or Below portion of this code.
58 If you don’t want to see a finished MsgBox you can make it a comment or delete it here.
