i believe it could be achieved by using the lag function.

may be sample data and the expected output could help to get better solution.

If you have access to SAS/ETS, use the Expand procedure :

data myData;

input time value;

datalines;

0 -100

1 10

2 25

3 .

4 35

5 .

6 .

7 55

8 -1

;

proc expand data=myData out=filledData method=none;

id time;

convert value=filledValue / transformout=(missonly cmovave 3);

run;

proc print data=filledData noobs; run;
