NULL Values
NULL Values seem to cause some confusion.
First, when filtering on a field that has a NULL value and you select that as a filter, it does not provide any results. Secondly, when adding fields, where a NULL value may exist, it won't necessarily add together, but rather provide a NULL result (10 + NULL = NULL). I have seen this in both creating dataflows (primarily the latter example) and in creating cards. I know there are workaround to map NULLs to 0s or using case statements in beast modes, however I'm wondering if there is something else out there to make this simpler?
