How do I repeat the stuff in column A when there's stuff in Col B?

My spreadsheet looks like this:

A B
000771605-0 1976 0000000


000771607-2 1976 0000000
0284831


000800014-5 2009 0000000
0681378
0681864
0682617


000804444-2 1981 0000000
0284831


000804444-2 1983 0000000
0284831


000804448-6 1980 0000000


000804448-6 1982 0000000
0681804


000812407-4 2006 0000000
0681865
0682683
0682694

Thank you in advance,

Gary,
This assumes the data starts in row1:

Sub FillBlanks()
Dim v As Variant, i As Long
v = Range("A1:B" & ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count)
For i = 2 To UBound(v)
If v(i, 1) = "" Then
If v(i, 2) < "" Then v(i, 1) = v(i - 1, 1)
End If
Next 'i
Range("A1:B" & ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count) = v
End Sub
