Help writing loop to fill in the blanks

[Min Nguyen]

I have a datafile like this. I would like to fill in the blanks between 2014 and 2013 as 2014. There are 23 years from 2014 to 1992. How do I fill in the blanks in between?

The problem is that the number of blanks in between available observations is not equal.

Hi Min,

As Steve mentioned, you should post this in the General Forum if you want people to answer it. (Most responders don't read here). Since there is an easy solution to your question, I will just post it here.

replace Year = Year[_n-1] if Year==.
