starting value

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am trying to roll forward a bunch of data series using a certain growth rate. But because these data series update at different points in time I am having issues setting a starting value. Is there a way I can simply make E-views go to the previous period if last period was N/A (has not yet come in) for a particular series?

Thanks a bunch.

Code: Select all

smpl if x = na x = x(-1) smpl @all
