Hi All,

I have created a report that does calculation on few financial data items. But if any financial data item is NULL then the end result is also NULL whereas i need the result in values.

Eg Actual Budget
A 100
B 50 25
C 50

C is a formula A-B. for budget i need -25 but it's bringing null.

Please help me to resolve the issue ASAP.

Thanks n regards

Any operation which includes NULL value results in NULL unless there's a NVL function which would then convert it to acceptable value. In your case, it seems that NVL(something, 0) would do the job.
