The Fill Down operation identifies blanks in selected columns and replaces them with the value from the row above. The fill down continues vertically until another value is encountered. The filled-down column will overwrite the original column.
Fill Down is useful for dealing with tables where a category applying to a group of rows has been listed only in the first row of the group.
