Hi Team,

 

I need some help with the below issues

 

I have attached data for reference

I need four columns in output everytime ie Moon,Jupiter,Saturn,Sun.

 

Even if any one of the varieties is not present in input,it must reflect in the output with 0 value as shown in the sheet

 

Thanks in advance.

hey @Polite123 

 

As @mot 's canvas shows - there are 2 things going on here:

a) set up an empty data set with the right headings and union this with your incoming data to ensure that you always have these columns.   This is a very common pattern

- Caution: You may want to put a select after the empty data set to force the data types to be integers

b) You then want to look for empty values and replace them with 0

- you can use a formula tool for this or data-cleanse

- you can also use a multi-row as @mot  has done - multi-row is super-important when the value in one row depends on a value in another (you cannot do this in a formula tool)
