Need a concept for the formula used

Hi,

I have two columns. One column contains the date and the other column contains text. So, my concept is that in the new column "Process", if the date is not missing, then it would be text value. If the date is missing, it would be the value of the previous row of the "Process" column.

 

DateText
12.01.2023A
 BA
 BBS
13.01.2023B
 CV

 

Output Should be,

DateTextProcess
12.01.2023AA
 BAA
 BBSA
13.01.2023BB
 CVB

 

I have written the following formula. But it shows the error for the date missing value. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
