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:
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.- In the suggestion cards, click the
set
suggestion. - By default, this transform sets the missing value to be a null value. Click Edit.

D trans Type step p01Name Columns p01Value country p02Name Formula p02Value IF(ISMISSING([country]),NULL(),country) SearchTerm Edit column with formula

row:ISMISSING

reference with a constant value, as in the following:D trans Type step p01Name Columns p01Value country p02Name Formula p02Value IF(ISMISSING([country]),'USA',country) SearchTerm Edit column with formula Note that the single quotes around the value are required, since it identifies the value as a constant.
