Title: Nulls treatment
Post by: ranne_78 on 17 Mar 2008 04:08:00 PM
Hello,

We recently migrated from cognos 7 series to Cognos 8. There were some calculations in our
catalog are based on if-nullnumeric function which is not exist in cognos 8. If anybody had
replaced this function using any workaround? database is SQL Server.

Hi Rockytopmark,

Thanks for your reply. Do you know any alternative function from Cognos side?

Thanks,
