May be as below:

Load Date1,
Properties1,
If (Len(Trim(Value1))=0, Peek('Value'),Value1) as Value
Resident temp1;

drop table temp1;

Hi,

Logic suggested by trdandamudi‌ must work.

Data:

LOAD * INLINE [

    Date1, Properties, Value1

    11/12/12, A/c, 40

    12/12/12, A/c,

    13/12/12, A/c, 50

    14/12/12, Fridge, 100

    15/12/12, Fridge,

    16/12/12, Fridge,

    17/12/12, Fridge, 250

    15/12/12, TV, 350

    16/12/12, TV,

    27/12/12, TV,

];

NoConcatenate

final_Data:

Load Date1 as Date,

Properties as Property,

if(len(trim(Value1))=0,Peek('Value'),Value1) as Value

Resident Data;

DROP Table Data;

EXIT SCRIPT;

In the screen shot, you are probably taking Value1 instead of Value in the table box. I.e. you would see the right values in Value field. Also note, in table box you would not see all the values. You should look at the table view (Ctrl+T) instead to check if it is working fine.

Hi,

Use Previous function:

IF(LEN(VALUE)=0,PREVIOUS(VALUE),VALUE) AS NEW_VALUE

You are welcome...

Might be you don't have nulls and you have only blanks and that is the reason you are not getting the output. Nulls  are different from blanks. Give a try on the below and let me know:

If(IsNull(Value) OR Value='',Peek('Value'),Value1) as Value
