Default Auto populate fields

I have a report that is output in Excel. The first column is employee name,
the second column is date and so forth. The problem is the employee name does
not come across in the report next to the dates, in other words, the name is
on one row with the dates on their own rows, but with no name in the name
field:
Employee Name Date Hours
Jane Doe
9/1/2008 5
9/1/2008 4
Total 9
John Doe
9/1/2008 5
9/1/2008 4
Total 9

The report is extremely large, so manually putting the names in the
corresponding fields is time consuming. Is there a way to progammatically
populate the fields below with the name above until you come to the next non
empty field so that is looks like this?

Employee Name Date Hours
Jane Doe
Jane Doe 9/1/2008 5
Jane Doe 9/1/2008 4
Jane Doe Total 9
John Doe
John Doe 9/1/2008 5
John Doe 9/1/2008 4
John Doe Total 9

I need to import this into MS Access to link by name, so if this is done
easier in Access let me know.
