Fill NA/NaN values by using the next valid observation to fill the gap.
Axis along which to fill missing values. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.
If True, fill in-place. Note: this will modify any other views on this object (e.g., a no-copy slice for a column in a DataFrame).
If method is specified, this is the maximum number of consecutive NaN values to forward/backward fill. In other words, if there is a gap with more than this number of consecutive NaNs, it will only be partially filled. If method is not specified, this is the maximum number of entries along the entire axis where NaNs will be filled. Must be greater than 0 if not None.
If limit is specified, consecutive NaNs will be filled with this restriction.
None
: No fill restriction.
âinsideâ: Only fill NaNs surrounded by valid values (interpolate).
âoutsideâ: Only fill NaNs outside valid values (extrapolate).
Added in version 2.2.0.
Object with missing values filled or None if inplace=True

Fill NA/NaN values by propagating the last valid observation to next valid.
Examples
For Series:
>>> s = pd.Series([1, None, None, 2]) >>> s.bfill() 0 1.0 1 2.0 2 2.0 3 2.0 dtype: float64 >>> s.bfill(limit=1) 0 1.0 1 NaN 2 2.0 3 2.0 dtype: float64
With DataFrame:
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, None, None, 4], "B": [None, 5, None, 7]}) >>> df A B 0 1.0 NaN 1 NaN 5.0 2 NaN NaN 3 4.0 7.0 >>> df.bfill() A B 0 1.0 5.0 1 4.0 5.0 2 4.0 7.0 3 4.0 7.0 >>> df.bfill(limit=1) A B 0 1.0 5.0 1 NaN 5.0 2 4.0 7.0 3 4.0 7.0
