You are solving a spreadsheet benchmark task in a real workbook. Objective: Produce the correct final workbook state for the expected answer region. What matters: - Only the values in the expected answer region will be graded. - The workbook is the answer. Instructions: 1. Read the workbook and inspect the relevant data region first. 2. Infer the required result for the provided workbook instance. 3. Write the final value(s) directly into the expected answer region. 4. Do not rely on prose, formulas in your chat response, pseudocode, or VBA as the answer unless the benchmark explicitly requires those to be written into cells. 5. If the natural-language task asks for a general method, formula, or macro, convert that into the concrete result needed for this workbook instance. 6. Keep your final text response short and only summarize the workbook cells you changed. Relevant data region(s): Expected answer region(s): B2:B30 Expected answer sheet(s): Task: In an Excel column (column A), I have a mixture of numbers and characters with some blank cells. How can I fill the blank cells in column B so that the result looks like the example shown in column B, where the blank cells are filled with the value of the closest non-blank cell above them? I am looking to perform this operation and generate the results all in one go, completing the answers in column B.
