copy values in more cells

Hi,
I have a column with cells merged at groups of 8. in the column next to it i
would like to have a formula that copy the value of the merged cells (that
would be the first one of each group as if i do umerged the value is always
on the top one)
not sure i can make myself to clear about this. see table below (in the
example I made groups of 3 instead 8)


A B C
1│ z z
2│ z
3│ z
4│ k k
5│ k
6│ k
7│0 0
8│ 0
9│ 0

where column A contains the merged cells in groups of 3 (1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7to
9) and column B contains the formula that copy from column A.
any idea of how to do this?

thanks
 
In the first cell in B (at B1) put the formula =A1
In B2 put =IF(A2="",B1,A2)
and fill that second formula down the column.
 
works fine.
thanks a lot!
