Hi @DuncanIdaho and welcome to the KNIME forum,
First you need to convert those dashes ("-") to missing. To do that you can use the String Manipulation node with this expression:
regexReplace($ETAT_STATUS$, "^-$", null)
Then using the Missing Value node and selecting “Previous Value” option for the column, you will get the output you are looking for.
