The values below have to be null, not blank or space. Just right click to copy the blank value, click replace values, replace with null. Then fill down.

I’m usually answering from my phone, which means the results are visualized only in my mind. You’ll need to use my answer to know that it works—but it will work!!

By using fill down, the null value (not blank cell) are replaced by the previous value, in your case, change your data type (or replace command) into text to change the blanck cell to null then use fill down
