Zero values instead off Blanks

Hi all,

I am trying to make a computed column with the following script from the Resources page to replace blanks with zeros:

"// if you have a Table that displays a NULL value as a blank but you would prefer to display it as ZERO (0)
// the dataSetRow is going to be the value you are looking at

if ((dataSetRow[“sum Number of Juvenile Females (Observed)”]) != “NULL”)
{
** return 0;**
} "

I cannot get it to work. My question is what Data Type should I select? Or are there any other settings I need to define? I have tried most Data Types but still not working. Please help.

Many thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam

You can try this

if ((dataSetRow[“sum Number of Juvenile Females (Observed)”]) == null)
{
0;
}
else
{
(dataSetRow[“sum Number of Juvenile Females (Observed)”]
}

Other simple solution is (only work if your data type is decimal or number)

dataSetRow[“your_data_set”]+0

Before add (+ 0)

After add (+ 0)

Here the script

Same result if I use this script

if ((dataSetRow[“n1”]) == null)
{
0;
}
else
{
dataSetRow[“n1”]
}

Hi Lili,

Many thanks for your help. The mistake I was making is that I wasn’t using the new computed column in the fields, instead I used the original row data from the query - I basically forgot to replace the cells with the updated columns I created. Well, I hope at least others who want display zeros will find your code useful.

Have a great day,

Adam
