I have 2 colums of data as follows

1-1-05 2
3-1-05 3
5-1-05 5

I need to fill in the blanks with the previous dates value

so I need to end up with
1-1-05 2
2-1-05 2
3-1-05 3
4-1-05 3
5-1-05 5
6-1-06 5

I have the dates set up in a different column, but I need help to get the
data there


I hope this makes sence...
Thanks in advance for your time

Assuming your first columns are A:B, and the second set of dates is in
column D, place this formula in E1 and fill down:

=VLOOKUP(D1,$A$1:$B$3,2,TRUE)

This is fabulous!

The one problem is that it only adds a day to the date instead of a month.
