Why am I seeing blank rows in a freeform table instead of zeroes?

I've worked on a couple of Adobe implementations and with the tool itself for a number of years, and I don't recall ever seeing something like this. Instead of showing me zeroes where no data/counts exists the rows themselves are blank. What causes this? Is this normal?

There is a setting on the column to "Interpret zero as no value"

 

 

It looks like you or someone else applied this to that column (or maybe in your User Preferences so that newly added columns are using your set preference)

 

You can change this display at any time to suit your needs.

As usual you were right Jennifer, thanks! I was using another user's report and they had that setting enabled.

You're welcome 🙂

 

This setting is really useful if you are using a line graph visualization... you don't end up with a flatline where there are zeros (also, the transition from data to no data is completely vertical as opposed to sloped)
