Hi @ksarker 

 

Here's one way:

  1. Multi-field to update 0 to null
  2. Transpose quarter info
  3. Summarize tool to count records per business and null records
  4. Compare record count to null record count and filter out businesses where all records are null
  5. Join back to remove data

Hey @ksarker,

One way of doing this is with a multi field formula like this:

That formula will replace all 0's with NULL. 

Then a Filter tool can get rid of the NULL rows:

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!

Here is an updated macro from the data cleanse tool which will automatically filter out Null/Zero Rows!
