I hope I'm understanding your issue- it looks you want to fill the missing months with the value from the most recent month

// Generate a table with Month Names
// Define the following line if not available in the Main section
// SET MonthNames='Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec';
Temp:
LOAD
SubField('$(MonthNames)',';') as Month
inline [
DUMMY_COL
1
];

// Add the Inv Values available 
Left Join
Load * inline [
Month,Inv Value
Jan,100
Feb,200
Jun,500
Sep,300
Dec,600
];

// Use peek() to get the previous month's non-null value
NoConcatenate
Final:
Load Month,
     if (isnull([Inv Value]),peek('Inv Value'),[Inv Value]) as [Inv Value]
Resident Temp;     

drop table Temp;

exit Script;

If I'm understanding your problem correctly- you want the missing months to be populated with the most recent month value.  Please see if this works for you.

// Generate a table with Month Names
// Define the following line if not available in the Main section
// SET MonthNames='Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec';
Temp:
LOAD
SubField('$(MonthNames)',';') as Month
inline [
DUMMY_COL
1
];

// Add the Inv Values available 
Left Join
Load * inline [
Month,Inv Value
Jan,100
Feb,200
Jun,500
Sep,300
Dec,600
];

// Use peek() to get the previous month's non-null value
NoConcatenate
Final:
Load Month,
     if (isnull([Inv Value]),peek('Inv Value'),[Inv Value]) as [Inv Value]
Resident Temp;     

drop table Temp;

exit Script;

I believe the question is: how do you define these values?
- Do they have to change by year or Month, it's fixed  or is there a rule you have to follow, you need to explain better what you want 

As you think, so shall you become.

I'm assuming you also have a year field and only want the months between the min and max dates.

You can use this code to fill the missing values while also formatting the date as such:

//	Load Data and create a continuous Numbering for the Months
Data:
NoConcatenate Load
    "Inv Value",
    Year * 12 + Month(Date#(Year &' '& Month, 'YYYY MMM')) - 1 as MonthNum	//	Subtract 1 so all Mod(MonthNum, 12) = 0 for Jan and Floor(MonthNum / 12) = Year
Inline [
Year,	Month,	Inv Value
2023,	Jan,	100
2023,	Feb,	200
2023,	Jun,	500
2023,	Sep,	300
2023,	Dec,	600
];


//	Expand Table with all possible Date Combinations
MinMaxMonthNum:
NoConcatenate Load
	Min(MonthNum) as MinMonthNum,
	Max(MonthNum) as MaxMonthNum
Resident Data;

Let vMinMonthNum = Peek('MinMonthNum');
Let vMaxMonthNum = Peek('MaxMonthNum');
Drop Table MinMaxMonthNum;

Join(Data) Load
	*,
	MakeDate(Floor(MonthNum / 12), Mod(MonthNum, 12) + 1) as Date;
Load
	RecNo() + $(vMinMonthNum) - 1 as MonthNum
AutoGenerate vMaxMonthNum - vMinMonthNum + 1;

Let vMinMonthNum;
Let vMaxMonthNum;


//	Load final Table
Final:
NoConcatenate Load
	Date,
    If(IsNull("Inv Value"), Peek('Inv Value'), "Inv Value") as "Inv Value"
Resident Data
Order By MonthNum;

Drop Table Data;
