Showing Null Values on a Map

When creating a thematic map which accumulates data from a lower level of geography, if that data contains a null, it will by default not appear on the map. Using the VALUE_OF function treats nulls as 0 and therefore allows areas with ‘incomplete’ data to be represented.

  • When creating your Thematic Classifier expression, navigate through links down to the geographical level at which the data is held.

  • Double click on the column you wish to display to add it to the expression box

  • Add the VALUE_OF(*) function around the current expression

Example

  • VALUE_OF(SCHEMA_GROUP:(SCHEMA.COLUMN))

  • Complete the remainder of the wizard as usual
