Abstract: fillmissing program provides the convenience of filling missing values in numeric or string variables with the variable's previous value, forward value, first or last value, or with some calculated values such as mean, median, minimum, maximum, etc. in numeric variables. The program can work with or without the bysort prefix. Specifically, if filling the missing values is needed within a grouping variable, such as firms, years, etc, the bysort prefix can be used.
