lfill

Syntax

lfill(obj)

Arguments

obj is a vector or a table with only numeric columns.

Details

  • If obj is a vector: linearly fill the NULL values between 2 non-NULL numeric values in obj.

  • If obj is a table with only numeric columns: for each column of the table, linearly fill the NULL values between 2 non-NULL numeric values.

lfill does not change obj, whereas lfill! changes obj.

a= NULL 1.5 NULL NULL 4.5
a.lfill();
// output
