How to use fillmissing function within a group ?

1 view (last 30 days)
I have a table where multiple columns have NaN and I want the NaN to be replaced by the previous valid value in the column, within the group(by ID.
T =
ID amount1 amount2
15 200 300
15 NaN 800
15 NaN NaN
67 NaN 300
67 400 700
67 NaN NaN
Expected output:
ID amount1 amount2
15 200 300
15 200 800
15 200 800
67 NaN 300
67 400 700
67 400 700
I am able to achieve this partially using fillmissing function as:
Tupdated = fillmissing(T,'previous');
But I want to implement this within group (by ID). I am unable to use fillmissing with splitapply correctly.
