Hide Infinity%

It's really handy in some cases to Interpret zero as no value - to cover a time period when a certain page didn't even exist for example.  But I wish the same logic applied to %s so my YoY numbers would be blank rather than display a useless Infinity%

If you have the right to modify your calculated metric, could you add an IF statement to the calculation? Checking that IF there is a denominator (i.e. not 0) or if the denominator is greater than 0 (this will require a nested greater then function inside the IF), then do the division of your metrics, otherwise return a static value of 0?

 

Then you could use the "interpret zero as no value" option....

 

I've not tried this, but it should work?

Yes, thanks, it took some noodling but I added a couple of layered formulas and got the calculated metric to return zero instead of infinity.  Thanks!  Still wish Adobe would consider infinity like a zero though and hid it with the same logic, as if I want to do this across the board I have maybe 50 metrics to edit...

Lol, I agree.. maybe a good candidate for a feature request: Add another option for "interpret zero as no value"
