Hi all,

id,LineNo,Val
1 1 xxx
2 NULL yyy
3 NULL zzz
4 2 ddd
5 NULL ttt
6 NULL uuu
7 3 hhh
8 NULL HYU

i wanted to updated the second column with NULL values with the previous LineNo

expected output:
1 1 xxx
2 1 yyy
3 1 zzz
4 2 ddd
5 2 ttt
6 2 uuu

UPDATE t
SET t.LineNo= t1.PrevLineNo
FROM table t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT MAX(LineNo) AS prevLineNo
             FROM table
             WHERE id < t.id
             AND LineNo IS NOT NULL
             )t1

Hi visakh,

Thanks for the script. with a minor change i was able to get the required output:
final query is:
UPDATE t
SET t.LNo= t1.PrevLineNo
FROM dbo.Header t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT MAX(LNo) AS prevLineNo
FROM dbo.Header
WHERE id < t.id
AND LNo IS NOT NULL
)t1
WHERE t.Lno is null

Thanks once again,
regards
Aksaa
