    Hello, 
    In order to call upon NULL values in a beastmode you refer to them using the key word NULL. 

    For example: 

    CASE WHEN `date` IS NULL THEN 'x' ELSE 'y' END


    If this does not fix the issue you are experiencing you can email our great support team at support@domo.com.

    I'm trying to add another command in this statement, but it isn't working. does elseif not work?

     

    Case
    When
    `ACTUAL_START_DATE` is null then 'Tracking'
    elseif 'ACTUAL_START_DATE' is not null and `ACTUAL_END_DATE` is null then 'In Process'
    else 'Completed'
    End

    Case
    When
    `ACTUAL_START_DATE` is null then 'Tracking'
    WHEN 'ACTUAL_START_DATE' is not null and `ACTUAL_END_DATE` is null then 'In Process'
    else 'Completed'
    End

    Just change elseif to WHEN instead

     

    That should work for you,
