How do I set a new field to be TRUE, FALSE or Null?

MikeCarpenter
5 - Atom

I have

- a boolean field I need to set to TRUE when I create it

- an integer field I need to set to Null  when I create it

 

.. but I can't see how as these don't appear as standard constants??

 

I'm new to Alteryx, so may be missing something obvious..

If you need a boolen field set to true, use the formula tool to create a boolean field and in the formula box use 1 == 1

 

If you need a null field use NULL() in the formula box

Some hints:

 

True is 1 and False is 0

 

Null is Null()

 

If I wanted to make an integer null, the formula would be:  NULL()

If I wanted to make a boolean True, I would use the formula:  1
