I have the following quest. 

Default_date variable should be updated with the first instance of "Default" for the Status variable, and thereafter it has to have the same date until It changes back to "no def" for the Status variable. I think the following example can explain better.

Have_table

IDDateStatus
A01/01/2000No def
A02/01/2000Default
A03/01/2000Default
A04/01/2000No def
A05/01/2000Default
A06/01/2000Default
B01/01/2000Default
B02/01/2000Default
B03/01/2000No def
B04/01/2000No Def
B05/01/2000Default
B06/01/2000No Default

 

Want_table

IDDateStatusDefault_Date
A01/01/2000No def.
A02/01/2000Default02/01/2000
A03/01/2000Default02/01/2000
A04/01/2000No def.
A05/01/2000Default05/01/2000
A06/01/2000Default05/01/2000
B01/01/2000Default01/01/2000
B02/01/2000Default01/01/2000
B03/01/2000No def.
B04/01/2000No Def.
B05/01/2000Default05/01/2000
B06/01/2000No Default.

 

Thank you so much for your help and time.

@novinosrin  If I want to have the defaut_date as follows, how should I change the code?

A01/01/2000No def.
A02/01/2000Default02/01/2000
A03/01/2000Default02/01/2000
A04/01/2000No def02/01/2000
A05/01/2000Default05/01/2000
A06/01/2000Default05/01/2000
B01/01/2000Default01/01/2000
B02/01/2000Default01/01/2000
B03/01/2000No def01/01/2000
B04/01/2000No Def01/01/2000
B05/01/2000Default05/01/2000
B06/01/2000No Def05/01/2000

 

Defult_date variable will have the date when is the last date status moved from No Def to Default.

 

Thanks in advance.
