Count aggregation renders empty cells instead of zeros

Resolved
Projet TCD asked on January 11, 2019
  • Version: Pivot Table for JSON data sources 2.6.11 (Jan 02, 2019)
  • Browser: Chrome 71.0.3578.98 on MacOS 10.14.1
  • Link to reproducehttp://jsfiddle.net/rj53sv0e/
  • Steps to reproduce:
    • Display pivot table
    • Check that cell (2-4) in "Distinct Count of Group" is 0
    • Double click cell (2-4) and check that in the Details there are no results and "Distinct Count of Group" is 0
    • Check that cell (3-4) in "Count of Group" is empty
    • Double click cell (3-4) and check that in the Details there are no results and "Count of Group" is empty
  • Observed behavior:
    • Aggregations "Distinct Count" and "Count" return different values when there are no matching results in the dataset (0 and empty respectively), both on the pivot table and the Details view.
  • Expected behavior:
    • Aggregations "Distinct Count" and "Count "should return the same value (0) when there are no matching results in the dataset, both on the pivot table and the Details view.
      • 0 (zero) should be the proper value to keep the cell type consistent (numeric, also in Excel export)
  • Notes:
    • Observed behavior also applies when grouping, on sub-totals by column or row
    • There are no trace in Chrome JS console
  • Workaround:
    • Creating a new cell format with "Null value" set to 0 for that Measure can prevent the issue visually. However data type consistency is broken, since the "Null value" "0" is considered a string (hence, the Excel export is also inconsistent, as those cells could have a wrong type alert).
