Add row above and insert data
G'day
I figured the best way to show this is in a video.
Thank you. Appreciate any advice/assistance.

For this I would use the Categories feature. It should take just a few minutes. Do something like this:
On the left is your table with the original data. Make sure you have a backup of it just in case.
In that column you should now see the data in the format you want. You can copy-paste the data wherever you need it by typing command-c followed by Edit > Paste Formula Results.

When you click the red warning triangle, what error message does it show?
Have you by any chance set your computer to a region that uses , as the decimal separator, i..e instead of 100.50 as in the US you would instead write 100,50? If so, use semicolons in the formula instead of commas, e.g.
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A2));A2;E2)
BTW, I don't think it makes a difference but it appears that in Step 4 you used command-v or Edit > Paste instead of Edit > Paste and Match Style. That would explain why you have all those shaded cells that I don't have in my example.
EDIT. I think you can IGNORE THE ABOVE. Your column setup is different from what I had in the example. You are referring to the same cell E2 that the formula is in. Instead try:
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A2)),A2,D2)

Thanks so much. Unfortunately I get an error for the same formula however it's still much quicker doing it this with or without the formula. See attached screenshot. Not sure where I'm going wrong.
Oh I worked it out. I need to add another column - F as you said. Woohoo. This is a revolutionary in my small world. THANK YOU
Glad it worked on your end.
