Hai,
To solve the issue Insert a temporary column without merging the cells.
Suppose you inserted a column at "I"
Place the formula IF(An="",I(n-1),An) and drag the formula till the end.
n is the row number,
Now filter based on the Column I it will work.
Thank You.

I am trying to insert this formula into the spreadsheet as you have mendtioned. Could you give me a written out complete formula for the first group of boxes please as i cant seem to get it to work. Do i change every n for one row number or for each consecutive row number?
so In cell I4 the formula would be IF(An="",I(n-1),An)
In cell I5 the formula would be IF(An="",I(n-1),An)
In cell I6 the formula would be IF(An="",I(n-1),An)
In cell I7 the formula would be IF(An="",I(n-1),An)

copy the formula and paste it in the i4 cell
then simply drag the formula down across all the rows
