    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Instead of populating the zero values using the missing cell property, you can try wrapping your expression in alt() (it acts like isnull() or coalesce() in SQL):&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;alt(sum(YourField), 0)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;TABLE border="1"&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;
&lt;P class="syntax"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="Bold"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;alt(&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN class="Italic"&gt;case1[ , case2 , case3 , ...] , else&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class="Bold"&gt;)&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The &lt;SPAN class="Bold"&gt;alt&lt;/SPAN&gt; function returns the first of the parameters that has a valid number representation. If no such match is found, the last parameter will be returned. Any number of parameters can be used. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="example"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="example"&gt;Example:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="Code"&gt;alt( date#( dat , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ),&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="Code"&gt;date#( dat , 'MM/DD/YYYY' ),&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="Code"&gt;date#( dat , 'MM/DD/YY' ),&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="Code"&gt;'No valid date' )&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class="Code"&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Will test if the field date contains a date according to any of the three specified date formats. If so, it will return the original string and a valid number representation of a date. If no match is found, the text 'No valid date' will be returned (without any valid number representation). &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
