Null Values in Excel are loading as "0"

Hello All!

I recently needed to clean up a data set to load all nulls as zeros, that I figured out, but I have a different excel file that for some reason is loading 0's in the places where there are blanks.  I have double checked and indeed the cells are blank, yet my load displays 0s for those fields.

I don't want to convert all 0s to null, I just need the blank cells to be null or blank.  Is there something I can add in the load editor to keep them blank or some other trick to do so?

As always...thanks to all the gurus!

Can you share an Excel file with sample data for us to check this behavior?

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me!  I have since discovered that the data is stored as null, the problem was in my calculation.  I have since figured out that I my aggregated sum was creating the 0. So I am only half crazy ...of course Qlik Sense was correct! 🤣
