Alias for Dimension

Hi, I am wanting to know how to create an alias.

By that, I mean I have a variable property_type which I am using for a dimension in a bar chart.

This has values of house, unit, land etc and I would like to create the value Unknown for null values.

I do not want to do this in the script as the data is relatively unknown, 13 million records and I do not want to reload the script every time I come across something like this.

Thanks in advance.

Solved now.  This is the only forum I have seen where a moderator needs to approve a posting.

It has taken 4 hours for that.

Not a great community page.

Thanks all, I have solved now.  I wanted to assign value to null values and also create list box with new variables which I have worked both out.  Unfortunately the post saying this hasn't yet been approved by moderator thus my comment in previous post.

Had to change in the script, which is very primitive. Personally I find this a very cumbersome product in comparison to Tableau.
