Dear,

In my data three subjects with 11 obs present. The subject 'a' has all visit obs. The subject 'b' and 'c' has a few missing visits. I need to populate all the visits with values from previous 'aval' variable values. Each subject should have all the visit obs

 

Eg;

Subject b has missing visit 2. The 'visitnum= 2' obs is populated with aval  from visitnum;=1

 

Thank you

The following should work:

data one;
  input name $ visitnum aval;
  datalines;
a 1 10
a 2 20
a 3 30
a 4 40
a 5 50
b 1 10
b 3 30
b 4 40
b 5 50
c 1 10
c 2 20
;
 
data want (keep=name visitnum aval);
  set one;
  by name;
  array avals(5);
  retain avals:;
  if first.name then call missing(of avals(*));
  avals(visitnum)=aval;
  if last.name then do i=1 to 5;
    if missing(avals(i)) then avals(i)=avals(i-1);
    aval=avals(i);
    visitnum=i;
    output;
  end;
run;
