Dynamically populate column that has values already in the column

Hi I have a data set that looks like this

SearchORGidID
AF01BC87651765
 BC87654325
 BC87654567
DM02BC8765890
 BC87656545
 BC87658765
 BC87652541
 BC87650943
CAN03BC87659871
 BC87654321
 BC87659876
 BC87653741

 

In the search column, there are populated cells that are the area. After each of these, there are bank cells until you reach the next area's data. Unfortunately, this is a limitation of how the data is extracted. 

I would like to know if it is possible to populate the empty cells with the Value from the areas as it goes down the list. The area will remain the same until the next Pre-populated value. It should look like this.

Any help or guidance around this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

@Dpsaint I'd use the Multi-Row formula:
