Set Null as a value

[Ayden]

Hello all I am trying to remove nulls in my Dashboard or rather I want to remove '-' values in my app to replace with N/A.

here is want I have done but still get that  - in my dashboard. SET NullValue = 'N/A';
NullAsValue*;   for both Down and up fields I want to have N/A to replace the blank fields

Hello @Ayden 

Please refer to below information:

In the Set nulls card, you select distinct values from a dimension field to be treated as null values in Qlik Sense.

For example, if your source data includes representations such as X for nulls, you can use the Set nulls card to set that value to be treated as a null value in Qlik Sense.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/November2022/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/LoadData/setting-val....

The NullAsValue statement specifies for which fields that NULL should be converted to a value.

If the NullAsValue statement is used, the defined symbol will substitute all NULL values in the Null... 

Thanks,

Padma Priya

Your approach will only work by directly loading data which have real NULL and not for missing values in csv or empty cells in Excel - they might be resolved with something like: if(len(trim(Field)), Field, 'N/A') or coalesce(Field, 'N/A').

Further if the NULL comes from a join or an associating of the data or from an expression the NULL variables won't have an impact. In this case you may need adjustments within the data-model and/or similar to above checking the result and if there is no result replacing it to your wanted default-value.

Beside this In QlikView there were settings within the presentation-tab of an object to replace the default-value of '-' for NULL and MISSING data with an own one - maybe it's also available within Qlik Sense.
