Null values shown on Map

Tim Vice Jul 13, 2018 10:21 AM

I am connected to a number of DB's as well as an Excel spreadsheet that holds my Lat\Long values. Everything has a relationship and is rendering MOST of the points correctly. Is shows that I have 857 Null values in the data, if I left click it will show that X1 has 857 null values. If I look at the spreadsheet Either as excel or thru Tableau, I do not see anything that is empty or null.

Question........

Is there a way that I can view the items that it sees as null so I can verify the data in the spreadsheet?

Deepah, I must be missing something. How can I see whatTableau is seeing as a null value?

You need to put cursor on your data sources and even inside the view you can Right Click and Select View data

Thank you, I have done that as well as looked that the original spreadsheet I do not see any null or empty values in the column that I am referencing. That is why I am puzzled with the returning of null on the map. It does contacting - values as they are lat\long
