    Need help - Seeing which cells contain data in B2 then in A2 copy formula down

    Sorry I wasn't sure how to word the title so everyone knows exactly what I'm looking for.

    So basically what I need to do is search Column B. If there's data all the way down to B30, I want to go over to Column A and copy a formula from A1 through A30. My problem is the data in column B could vary between 2 cells all the way up to 2000 and anywhere in between.

    I can figure out how to copy the formula to Column A, my biggest problem is trying to figure how far down the formula needs to be copied. Can anyone lend a hand because I honestly don't even know where to start!
