Dear All, I have data, in which there are two dimensions that are "l - time (l=1:360)" and "m - no of events occurred (m=1:1753)" want to take starting value of a variable. I can take like this when there is no empty (-----) value in l=1 Eg. lon[l=1], but, the problem is every time my ''l'' value doesn't has with some value instead a empty or missing value. so, when i do lon[l=1] for all m values. the results are coming as follows

m l=1 2 3 4 5 6 ...... etc upto 360 1 85 85.5 86 --- --- 2 --- --- 87 85 ---
3 --- --- 85 86 87 4 86 --- . . . . etc upto 1753.

I need to list first non-empty l values for all m values somewaht like this 85 87 85 86

Thank you.
