Valuelist Null Column

Hi,

I have a table made up of with a valuelist dimension, but not every set of expressions are needed for each value in the valuelist.  Currently when displaying, I am getting a '-' in the columns that are empty.

Any way of removing this?

Thanks
Paul

Hi,

Probably best to fix all the NULLs from the script.

HI Guys,

Please see attached my example document.  I would like to remove the column Walk under expression 3, but need to keep walk under the other 2.

Thanks

Hi,

In the script catch all the NULLs

MAPPING LOAD

NULL(),

'Unknown'

Autogenerate 1;


And before FACT table say

MAP  "*" USING Map_NULLs;

UNMAP "%*";  //% will be fields you which to exclude from current selection box

I am afraid, you cannot hide this column. Pivot table has data in other cells, related with this null cell.

Thanks Jacek, didn't think it would be possible.

Would there be any other way you would suggest?

HI,

Thank for the reply, but the nulls are coming from the valuelist, not the script so I cannot catch them within the back end script

Thanks
