"fill down" tool

Open aborruso opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hi all, often with CSV files it's necessary to o a fill down process. Do you know some tool to do it??

Thank you

P.S. it's also a sort of gentle csvkit feature request

Does fill down mean: "Read a CSV from top to bottom, and if a cell is empty, copy the cell above"?

Hi @jpmckinney , yes.

Thank you very much.

This feature doesn't fit naturally in any of the existing tools, and new tools are not being added. So, closing.
