Performs a backward fill interpolation of missing values in a series.

An expression containing dynamic numerical array is the input. The function replaces all instances of missing_value_placeholder with the nearest value from its right side (other than missing_value_placeholder), and returns the resulting array. The rightmost instances of missing_value_placeholder are preserved.

Syntax

series_fill_backward(series[,missing_value_placeholder])

Learn more about syntax conventions.

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
series dynamic ✔️ An array of numeric values.
missing_value_placeholder scalar Specifies a placeholder for missing values. The default value is double(null). The value can be of any type that will be converted to actual element types. double(null), long(null) and int(null) have the same meaning.

Note

  • If you create series using the make-series operator, specify null as the default value to use interpolation functions like series_fill_backward() afterwards. See explanation.
  • If missing_value_placeholder is double(null), or omitted, then a result may contain null values. To fill these null values, use other interpolation functions. Only series_outliers() supports null values in input arrays.
  • series_fill_backward() preserves the original type of the array elements.

Returns

series with all instances of missing_value_placeholder filled backwards.

Example

let data = datatable(arr: dynamic)
    [
    dynamic([111, null, 36, 41, null, null, 16, 61, 33, null, null])   
];
data 
| project
    arr, 
    fill_backward = series_fill_backward(arr)

Output

arr fill_backward
[111,null,36,41,null,null,16,61,33,null,null] [111,36,36,41,16,16,16,61,33,null,null]

Tip

Use series_fill_forward or series-fill-const to complete interpolation of the above array.
