I have a data set with 16 quarters of data for each included customer ID and numeric value. I need to see how the minimum value of that numeric value changes overtime. So I need to alter the number so it only changes when there is an new minimum value.

 

The data currently looks like this:

 

Customer ID | Date |     Numeric Value

ABC123         12/31/17  80

ABC123         3/31/18    90

ABC123         6/30/18    75

ABC123         9/30/18    100

ABC123         12/31/18  110

DEF456         12/31/17   50

DEF456         3/31/18     40

DEF456         6/30/18     55

DEF456         9/30/18     60

DEF456         12/31/18   35

 

I need it to look like this:

 

Customer ID | Date |     Numeric Value

ABC123         12/31/17  80

ABC123         3/31/18    80

ABC123         6/30/18    75

ABC123         9/30/18    75

ABC123         12/31/18  75

DEF456         12/31/17   50

DEF456         3/31/18     40

DEF456         6/30/18     40

DEF456         9/30/18     40

DEF456         12/31/18   35

 

 

I have tried using different lag values with minimal success. Any advise of potential solutions would be appreciated.
