Purpose is to fill missing cells based on previous/next/closest value or in case of continuous values interpolate can be used. When using closest user can also opt to use smaller or larger value as tie-breaker.
Filling can also be done over grouping columns.
| Option | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Keep dialog open | Keeps dialog open if checked after run is pressed | 0,1 |
| Data sorted | Possibility to choose if it is know that data is sorted. Makes script faster | Unknown, Not-sorted, Sorted |
| Maximum Distance | Maximum distance of values which will still be considered | Missing (.) or numeric |
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| backward | Looks for last found value before missing value |
| forward | Looks of first value after missing value |
| nearest | Looks for nearest found value |
| nearest-backward | Looks for two closest values and if the distances are tied, uses value found before |
| nearest-forward | Looks for two closest values and if the distances are tied, uses value found after |
| interpolate | Uses JMP's Interpolate() function |
Can be used with backward and forward fills. Copies latest values to missing cells which have no found value from the found values
Creates new column with Fill Type prefixed to name
