Default Fill colum to the next non blank row

Ok,
Not sue how to explain this so I will just describe it:

Here is an shortened sample of the file that I am working with:
1,New York, Joe Smith, AddressA
2,(null), Mary Joe, AddressB
3,(null), Jim Bob, AddressC
4,California, Billy Joel, AddressD
5,(null), Jane Doe, AddressE
6,(null), Mary Jane, AddressF

What I need to do is fill the (null) cells with the title above it (so rows
2 & 3 should have New York in the (null) cell. Problem is there are hundreds
of rows. Is there a way to fill a column so that the text "New York" is
filled up only to the row that contains more text (in this case California,
row 4)?
