Convert "NULL" text into actual NULL value in multiple fields

Coral
6 - Meteoroid

Hello, 

 

 

 

 

Is there a handy tool to convert the "NULL" text values from input source into actual NULL values? 

 

I would like to convert from this:

DateNameValue
NULLXYZNULL
2017-12-01AAA4312
2017-12-02BBB2412
2017-12-03NULLNULL
2017-12-04AAA4341
2017-12-05BBB5433

 

into this:

DateNameValue
[Null]XYZ[Null]
2017-12-01AAA4312
2017-12-02BBB2412
2017-12-03[Null][Null]
2017-12-04AAA4341
2017-12-05BBB5433

 

Thanks, 

 

Sabrina

Sure, use MultiField formula with an expression:

IIF(ToString([_CurrentField_])=="NULL",Null(),[_CurrentField_])

Use a Multi-Field formula tool.  Select all the text columns with the formula 

 

if [_CurrentField_]='NULL' then null() else [_CurrentField_] endif
