Using Style Variable

[asmfloyd]

Hi,
  I have 2 columns (1 attribute and 1 measure) in my report. My attribute has values from 1 to 10.

   For the measure column, inside the list, I am using a style variable to display a "$" if the dimension row value is 1.

  MY problem is if measure is null, the "$" does not get populated inside the list. How can we forcefully make the "$" appear even if measure is null?

Thanks,
