Import from Excel - Advanced Editor question

I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet but the data in the sheet has rows grouped by date. An example:

 

ItemShip Date
522 Jan-20, 2018
747 
642 
834 
414 Jan-21, 2018
996 
568 

 

All the Items on and below the row with the date have the same Ship Date until the next row with a Ship Date then all the Items have that Ship Date, and so on. Is there a way to code in the Advanced Editor something that will get the Ship Date and apply it to all following rows that have no Ship Date until the Ship Date changes (then apply that Ship Date and so on)?

 

Any other ideas on how to get the Ship Date on each row?
