Default Auto fill text columns based on rows

I'm trying to fill in Column A based on the info. listed in the first row for
a section. For example, column A would list Store 1 until it hit Store 2 and
then repeat until the next section.

Any ideas on how to do this??

Thanks!!!

Select column A then F5SpecialBlanksOK

Type an = sign in active blank cell then point or arrow up to cell above.

Hit CTRL + ENTER

With column still selected, copy and in place, paste specialvaluesokesc.
