Hey Guys
I am really stuck with this issue that i am facing, and i am hoping you will be able to help me
My initial table consists of the following
SELECT [FDMSAccountNo]
,[Comments2]
,[Submission_Route]
,[Period]
FROM [FDMS].[dbo].[Comments2_All]

I then changed the table to

SELECT [Comments2_All].[FDMSAccountNo],
len(Comments2) as comments,
[Submission_Route]
,[Period],
account_status
FROM [FDMS].[dbo].[Comments2_All]
INNER JOIN
Dim_Outlet ON Comments2_All.FDMSAccountNo = Dim_Outlet.FDMSAccountNo

The length of (Comments2) varies in size from ( 23,27,30,31,32,33,41,42,43)

If the account status is anything other than ‘16’ then i want to get the last submission route populated and populate all future periods with the last known submission route.

Hope this make sense

nope...makes no sense for anyone unless they know how your sample data is in the two tables and what exactly you're trying to achieve!

so please post some sample data in easy consumable format as below and give your required output
