Hi, How do I carry the non-missing up or down within the same ID? The final output is one ID per line.
Before:
ID | A | B | C | D | E | F |
1 | 20 | 11 | . | 1 | . | 40 |
1 | 20 | 11 | . | 1 | 36 | . |
1 | 20 | 11 | 45 | 1 | . | . |
2 | 75 | 18 | 76 | 2 | . | . |
2 | 75 | 18 | . | 2 | . | . |
2 | 75 | 18 | 76 | 2 | 83 | . |
3 | 23 | 3 | . | 3 | . | . |
3 | 23 | 3 | . | 3 | 57 | 73 |
3 | 23 | 3 | 61 | 3 | . | . |
After:
ID | A | B | C | D | E | F |
1 | 20 | 11 | 45 | 1 | 36 | 40 |
2 | 75 | 18 | 76 | 2 | 83 | . |
3 | 23 | 3 | 61 | 3 | 57 | 73 |
