Hi everyone,
I'm trying to fill in empty cells using the value from the first non-missing cell to the left of that empty cell in each row. The table runs from January 1, 2014 through August 1, 2018. For example:
I tried:
data desiredtable;
set rawtable;
if variable=. then lag(variable);
end;
run;
But seems like this only works if the table was set up in long format vs. wide format.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

run;
data WANT;
set HAVE;
array ARR [8] A -- H ;
do I=2 to 8;
if ARR[I]=. then ARR[I]=ARR[I-1];
end;
run;
Thanks Chris it worked!
