Hello,

I have a dataset of observations for companies based on different years (2016-2020). Is it possible to create observations for each company for 1995-2015 based on the earliest year (in this case 2016), basically just copying the values of 2016? In the following is an example of the structure of the dataset:
ID Name Year Revenue Net Income ...
1 X 2016 12 ... ...
1 X 2017 14 ... ...
1 X 2018 15 ... ...
1 X 2019 16 ... ...
1 X 2020 13 ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ...
The ID is type "str" and YEAR is type "int".

Thanks a lot in advance, have a nice day!

Best regards
Sebastian Ebener
