Hi all,

I'm creating a data table to display set of data.  
For "string" type of fields, i'm able to display " missing" value for empty fields of data.

For "number" type of fields, there is no option of "missing" values.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks in Advance..

Hi @Sandeep_Raju.

I don't think this is possible in the Data Table visualization. But I may have an idea for doing this in TSVB. Not sure if this is want you are looking for though.

In my example below, I created two Count aggregations and changed the Filter for each to `not memory: *` and `memory: *`. This creates two columns in the data table counting where the `memory` number field is empty and not empty.
