Null Value

A null value represents missing, unknown, or inapplicable data according to the field's definition. It must be distinguished from a measured zero when calculating affiliate performance because replacing missing deposits, costs, or conversions with zero can produce misleading totals and rates.

Practical example

Illustrative example: If 3 of 100 cost records are null, known spend is incomplete rather than proof of zero cost.

Scaleo application: integration pattern

For a Scaleo-based program, derive null value from tracking exports joined to the operator data needed for the stated population and period. Reconcile the inputs before comparing partners; this is an analytical implementation pattern rather than a verified native dashboard metric.

Frequently asked questions

What should you check before using null value?

Define missing-value treatment explicitly and report coverage before comparing partners or calculating profitability from partially populated data.

What is a practical example of null value?

If 3 of 100 cost records are null, known spend is incomplete rather than proof of zero cost.
