Replacing missing values
One dplyr
and tidyr
possibility could be:
df %>%
group_by(quarter = substr(Period, 5, 6)) %>%
mutate(Sales_temp = replace_na(Sales, last(na.omit(Sales)))) %>%
group_by(quarter, na = is.na(Sales)) %>%
mutate(constant = 1.05,
Sales_temp = Sales_temp * cumprod(constant),
Sales = coalesce(Sales, Sales_temp)) %>%
ungroup() %>%
select(1:2)
Period Sales
<chr> <dbl>
1 1999Q1 353.
2 1999Q2 426.
3 1999Q3 358.
4 1999Q4 364.
5 2000Q1 303.
6 2000Q2 394.
7 2000Q3 435.
8 2000Q4 388.
9 2001Q1 318.
10 2001Q2 414.
11 2001Q3 457.
12 2001Q4 407.
13 2002Q1 334.
14 2002Q2 435.
15 2002Q3 480.
16 2002Q4 428.
17 2003Q1 351.
18 2003Q2 456.
19 2003Q3 504.
20 2003Q4 449.
Or with just dplyr
:
df %>%
group_by(quarter = substr(Period, 5, 6)) %>%
mutate(Sales_temp = if_else(is.na(Sales), last(na.omit(Sales)), Sales)) %>%
group_by(quarter, na = is.na(Sales)) %>%
mutate(constant = 1.05,
Sales_temp = Sales_temp * cumprod(constant),
Sales = coalesce(Sales, Sales_temp)) %>%
ungroup() %>%
select(1:2)
