Not all systems store data as time series. But in Runway, your model lives over time. So when source data is sparse—reported only once or sporadically—Runway gives you a way to pull it forward.
When configuring an integration-powered database, you’ll see a button for Most recent value on the right-hand side. Turn this on if you want the value to persist across future months where the source data might be missing.
Use the data preview to check how your source reports values.
Once you enable this setting, Runway will automatically apply the most recent value time range to any drivers based on this data.
You can also manually adjust the time range on formula pills after your database is live.
This only applies when the value is coming back as null. If the value is explicitly 0, that 0 will remain.
