Replace Missing or Null Values in a Dataset

Replace missing or null values in a dataset column to cleanse your data. For example, if values are missing from a Month column, you might change them to January.

  1. On the Home page, hover over a dataset that you own, click Actions, and then select Open.
    If the dataset contains a single table, you'll see the transform editor. If the dataset contains multiple tables, you'll see the Join Diagram. In the Join Diagram, right-click a data source and click Open to display the transform editor.

  2. Hover over or select the column that you want to transform.
  3. In the quality tile at the top of a column, double-click Missing or Null.
  4. Enter a value to replace missing or null values, then press Enter. For example, if values are missing from a Month column, you might enter "January".
