How do I find the close price for an entry matching a custom DB

I want to do the following and not sure how to do this. Can you please help.

I have a custom db that stores fundamental data, but is downloaded once a week (eg P/B ratio). The fundamental data matches to the stock close price on the day the fundamental data was donwloaded. I want to get the stock close price for the corresponding day so that I can run some appropriate scaling for days that the fundamental data was missing?

What do you want to get if there are no quotes for a corresponding fundamental item date? (The last available stock close price?)

Yes, the previous close would be appropriate.

The following formula returns the close price on fundamental item dates, otherwise it returns 0.

iff(GetData("fundamental", "item", Zero) != 0, close, 0)
