Outputting blank values as null or fixed values - Cloud - 8.0

You can output blank values as null or fixed values using expressions.

To output blank values of a column as null, use the following expression syntax:

rowName.columnName.equals("")?null:rowName.columnName

To output blank values of a column as fixed values, use the following expression syntax:

rowName.columnName.equals("")?fixValue:rowName.columnName

In the following example, any blank values in the name column will be replaced with null; any blank values in the company column will be replaced with the string Unknown.
