NULL CELL NOT SUPPLYING THE VALUE

KamenRider

Hi guys,

 

I am a kind of confuse because I have created a formula but the formula is not working. I am trying to supply the NULL value at column % but nothing is working.

 

Can you please help for the correct formula? See below snapshots for your reference.

Are you trying to refer to other rows/records? The scope of the formula tool is a single row. So based on your formula, that last row IsNull([%]) is true and so the value is updated with [SumPercent2], which is also null. Therefore nothing is going to change. Please include what your desired output is, so that more specific help can be provided.

Hi @CoG 

 

I like the 99.55% (sumpercent2) be on the last column of field % which looks like this:

Please let me know if you still have questions. Thanks and hope to hear from you.

I think your formula needs to be if [SumPercent2]=null() then null() elseif [%] =null() then [SumPercent2] else [%] endif

 

basically your formula is saying is % isn't null - keep it as % - but perhaps you are looking to replace that value as null() if sumpercent2 is null?

HI @apathetichell 

 

Actually you are right, if the % is not NULL, it will give whatever value it have and if null it will get the value from the SumPercent2. The reason because I am getting some sort of Total at the end of the row. I use the summarize tool to get the total. Below is the raw data from the workflow:

I need to put the SumPercent2 on the last row under % since it will represent its total.

 

Please help me on this.

multi-row formula - modify the field %

if [row+1:%]=null() then [row-1:SumPercent2] else [%] endif

 

or something like that. you'll also want to set values that don't exist as equal to null

Hi @apathetichell 

 

Thanks for the response. I use the formula you gave but it replace my zero% instead it should go or falls to the 5th rows which for the totals. Can you please update the formula you gave?

or something like that. you'll also want to set values that don't exist as equal to null - right now you have it at 0.
