Issues with subtract empty rows

gin_nguyen

Hi all,

 

I have an issue with subtract empty. Not sure if it is my workflow problem or if i miss anything. So i have:

let say 

Col 1: Monthly Target

Col 2: Month 1 (has value)

Col 3: Month 2 (has value)

Col 4: Month 3 (empty after using summarize since there is no values)

Col 5: Month 4 (empty after using summarize since there is no values)

Subtotal : add up Month 1,2,3,4 after subtracting

when I use Formula node to subtract Row 1- Row 2- Row 3 - Row 4 - Row 5. It ends up only subtracting Row 1 - Row 2- Row 3, leaving month 4 and month 5 empty (I think it is because Month 4 and 5 has o value so the program didn't pick it up) and the subtotal was wrong as it only add up the result from the Month with values

 

Thank you

Yes, the null values for the latter months is causing the issue. 

 

Use a data cleansing tool to fill in the nulls with 0's, then re-run. Let me know if that works!
