Tip

Info

NOTE: Generally speaking, inserting constants in place of missing values is not a recommended practice, especially if downstream consuming applications and individuals may not be known. In particular, you should not replace missing numeric values with a fixed numeric value, which will skew analysis. Use this method only if your entire data chain is aware of the constants.

Steps:

  1. Click the black gray missing values segment of the data quality bar for the column to fix.

    Tip

    Tip: Select a missing value in the data grid. Then, select the replace suggestion and then modify it to include the replacement value.

  2. In the suggestion cards, click the set suggestion. 
  3. By default, this transform sets the missing value to be a null value. Click Edit.
  4. You might seem something like the following:

    D trans
    Typestep
    p01NameColumns
    p01Valuecountry
    p02NameFormula
    p02ValueIF(ISMISSING([country]),NULL(),country)
    SearchTermEdit column with formula

  5. The missing data is identified using the row:ISMISSING reference. To apply a constant, replace the NULL() reference with a constant value, as in the following:

    D trans
    Typestep
    p01NameColumns
    p01Valuecountry
    p02NameFormula
    p02ValueIF(ISMISSING([country]),'USA',country)
    SearchTermEdit column with formula

    Note that the single quotes around the value are required, since it identifies the value as a constant.

  6. Click Add.
