Formula to fill blank cells with first value in column

Is there a way to fill all blank cells (ex: C2:DL157) with the value from row 1 (basically fill blank cells with the header)?

    Select C2:DL157.

    Press F5 to activate the Go To dialog.

    Click the Special... button.

    Select Blanks, then click OK.

    Make note of the address of the active cell in the name/address box on the left hand side of the formula bar.

    For example, if it is a cell in column C such as C12, enter the formula =C$1

    But if it is a cell in - say - column F such as F37, enter the formula =F$1

    Confirm the formula by pressing Ctrl+Enter, not just Enter or Tab.
