st: Replacing missing values only works one way?

The command described here works fine when I go one way: replace myvar
= myvar[_n-1] if myvar >= .
However, when I try to replace in the other direction replace myvar =
myvar[_n+1] if myvar >= ., it doesn't work and I have to repeat the
command for each time I want it to copy... Does anyone have any
suggestions?
I've read the below, but it doesn't quite make sense.
