Replacing Nulls with values from previous column

Hi.

 

I'm currently trying to work out how to eradicate the nulls in a table using the values from the column to the left.

 

Current input (from external provider) looks like below: 

CommodityPeriod 1Period 2Period 3Period 4
abc£0.46£0.47£0.48 
def£0.70£0.70£0.70£0.68
ghi £0.74£0.70£0.69
jkl £0.66£0.63£0.65
mno£0.66£0.72£0.74£0.84
pqr£0.73  £0.71
stu£0.87£0.94£0.92£0.94

 

Using Data Cleansing, I've been able to update the Period 1 price to 0, however, I'm hoping to update the blank fields with the previous period price for the commodity. 

 

 

EG:

 

CommodityPeriod 1Period 2Period 3Period 4
abc£0.46£0.47£0.48£0.48
def£0.70£0.70£0.70£0.68
ghi£0.00£0.74£0.70£0.69
jkl£0.00£0.66£0.63£0.65
mno£0.66£0.72£0.74£0.84
pqr£0.73£0.73£0.73£0.71
stu£0.87£0.94£0.92£0.94

 

Thanks!
