You cant have a blank OR zero in Anaplan. There is no concept of Null. A number cannot be blank. So I’ll take a guess
IF line item 1 = 0 THEN 0 ELSE line item 2 - line item 1
If line item 1 is not often zero you should write it the other way around
IF line item 1 <> 0 THEN line item 2 - line item 1 ELSE 0
You should put the most common expression first.
Hope that helps.

Hi @adisulyadi,

Do you have a module with the list (as mentioned in your screenshot)? If so, can you please share the screenshot of your module for better understanding.

Thanks

Hi @adisulyadi ,

In your screenshot, column 'I' is cropped. Can you please include that column also in your screenshot for us to understand what exactly is your requirement.

Thanks and regards,

Aishwarya

@DavidSmith Adding to your idea , I think if they need a blank cell there for values=0 , they can choose 'blank' from 'Zero values' drop down while choosing the number format for that line item.
