Does anyone know how to work around not having a LEAD() function, I.E. take
the value in the next cell and copy it here?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sort your data in reverse order.

Tim,
CREATE nextcase = LEAD(yourvariable,1).

Tim:
There is a LEAD function. It is in CREATE. Watch out, however, as it
seems (at least to my use) to demand a lot of memory.

Sheesh...I have to keep my eye on you every minute!

Hope everything is going well.

An easy way of getting LAG to do LEADING is to sort the data into
reverse order, use LAG, and then resort the data back to its original
order.
