Interactive Chart Tool - numbers not in numeric order

SylviaK
8 - Asteroid

Hi, 

 

I have an example data set in the following form. The null values are greyed out in Alteryx. I want to create a chart with the date on the X Axis and the values of different attributes on the Y-Axis. However, the Y-AXIS is screwed in that it is not in numeric order, e.g. shows null, 7, 2, 9. I have tried the cleanse tool before using the interactive chart tool to change [null] to zero, however for some reason after the successful run of the cleanse  with no error messages, I see no output data.  Can anyone please help?

 

 

DateAttribute 1Attribute 2 Attribute 3Attribute 4
2020-05-01[null][null][null]3
2020-05-022[null][null]6
2020-05-03[null]7[null]9

 

 

 

Many thanks,

Sylvia

No unfortunately not. That's what I've tried already. 

 

This is  input data for illustrative purposes

and then I run the cleanse tool selecting all columns  to cleanse and "replace with 0 (numeric fields). I then get this

Hi @SylviaK,


Just one additional question. 

 

Do you have those options ticked?

I don't see those options in the cleanse tools.

Hi @SylviaK,

 

If those fields are numeric it should work without a problem.

 

Alternatively you can use a formula like this to change null positions to zeros.

 

IIF(IsNull([Attribute 1]), 0, [Attribute 1])

many thanks. Using the formula works.
