Infinity/Negative/Null Values Displayed as 0

1.1 Expected effect

Many users now have data tables with various special values, such as negative numbers or calculated ∞. In this case, you can use FineBI to convert the special values to the data you want to render.

Example 1: Show all ∞ as 0 after division calculation.

Average Sales = Sales / Customer Service, if the number of customers being divided is 0, the output will be displayed as 0 instead of ∞, as shown in the figure below.

Example 2: Change the null value to 0 and for the percentage of expenses to revenue after the null value is displayed as 0, as shown in the following figure.

Example 3: Display a negative number as 0 and then sum the data columns as shown in the following figure.

1.2 Implementation idea

Example 1: Use IF function, if the divisor is 0, then output 0 directly, otherwise output the result after division.

Example 2: Use IF function, if the value is empty, then display 0, otherwise output the result after division.

Example 3: Use SIGN function, if the data is positive = 1, then output the data, otherwise output 0.
