Fill blank cells in Excel with value in above cell

When we setup data in Excel, we generally leave blank if the same value repeating multiple times or we fetch data from other sources, data have some blank cells which should have values in the above cell. See below snapshot:

Now, we have to fill blank with the values in above cell e.g., Anu Gupta should be in Range(A2:A7), Delhi should be in Range(B2:B4) and so on.

For doing this, first of all we have to select all blank cells. We will do this step-by-step.
