You need a multi-field formula tool.  Does the data contain actual nulls, or the string [Null]?  You need one of these formulas, applied to all the fields you want to update:

 

if isnull([_CurrentField_]) then "Not Started" else [_CurrentField_] endif

 

if [_CurrentField_]="[Null]" then "Not Started" else [_CurrentField_] endif

Hi @MB_Rocks 

 

One way of doing this!!!! Based on the input file shared.

Note: If your input data set is having empty cells, then use below. It will work on both null and empty values.

IF IsEmpty([_CurrentField_])
THEN "Not started"
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF

 

Many thanks

in your case multi-field formula is the best choice.
