Suppressing Null/Zero Value (Qlik Sense)

Hello Everyone,

I am having an issue suppressing null or zero values in Qlik Sense. Here is an example that someone posted about 4 years ago. My use case is much more complex, but I believe the answer will be the same for the example below.

I have a straight table where I am simply showing sum of sales for the days of the week.  If there are no sales for a day of the week, like Monday, how can I force that day to appear with no data or zero?

Sun               10

Mon   

Tues               15

Wed               20

Thurs               5

Fri                    11

Sat                    22

This was the correct answer at the time:


In dimensions tab:

- check "show all values"

- uncheck "supress when value is null"

In presentation tab:

- uncheck "supress zero values"


I don't see these options in Qlik Sense, and looking for some help.


Thanks in advance,


Ben

In click sense, you can do this by either unchecking 'include zero values' under the dimension or under Add-Ons-> Data handling

I tried un-checking, and checking that box, but nothing changes. I believe I would actually want to have that box checked, so Monday (example above), still shows up with a null value. Then, at least, I could most likely use an IF statement to change the null value to whatever I want.

Yes, you are right... I somehow thought the opposite... so selecting 'include zero value' under AddOn - > Data Handling didn't work?

No, unfortunately. My situation is a bit more complex, so maybe it is more involved. We have users answering surveys on our Website. If there are 5 possible answers for a question, but nobody answers 1 of them, I only see data for 4 of the answers. My table for this example is here:

Order (Dim)     Answer (Dim)     "Count" (count(distinct solution_id))

1                         A                         11

2                         B                         7

3                         C                         45

5                         E                          4

I need Order 4/Answer D to show up as null/zero

* For the "Count" measure

May be try adding this to your expression and see if this helps

Expression + Sum({1} 0)

It doesn't work. I have a feeling this may be a data issue, before it gets to Qlik. I am unable to get the desired output even when I query the data warehouse directly.This may be a job for Python, before it even gets to Qlik. I will let you know what comes of it. Thank you for the help, Sunny.
