QlikView replacing nulls with zeros in a table

Hello,

I have a problem which I have been trying to resolve, and my searches for similar issues have failed. I'm very new to QlikView.

I load a table which looks like this:

ID    Name    Number

1        A            1

2        A            2

3        A            3

1        B1          6

2        B1          8

1        C1          2

2        C1          0

1        C1          1

2        D1          0

2        D1          3

1        D1          4

3        D2          8

I create a table at the front end which must look like this, which includes the sums per ID (let's say I select the names B1, C1, D1, note that A has entries which can be relevant to X1 or X2 names) the outcome is this, which is what I want.

ID          Name_A          Name_B1          Name_C1          Name_D1
1               1                    6                         3                         4

2               2                    8                         0                         3

Now if I select B1, C1, D1 and A I get this:

ID          Name_A          Name_B1          Name_C1          Name_D1
1               1                    6                         3                         4

2               2                    8                         0                         3

3               3                    0                         0                         0

The zeros in bold seem to be inserted by default even though those names don't have results associated with the same ID. I would've expected those entries to be - (null) rather than replaced with a zero. The goal is to exclude entries where there are null entries for Name_X columns.

I hope this makes sense, any advice or help is much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

SC

I guess in such a case sum() would be different from  0
