Because you need to separate the instructions with a ; (semi-colon).
Hope this helps

Thank you Jeff. Your code works, as usual , perfectly. I am just
wondering why if i put the whole code in one line, i get an error
message.
sdf2 <- lapply( sdf, function(z){z$Value
<-ifelse(is.na(z$Value),z$Value[!is.na(z$Value)][1],z$Value)z})
error. unexpected symbol in sdf2

Thanks again

EK
