Hide Null Value in Filter But Keep in Calculation (Tableau)

 




Business Request:  Hide Null value in filter 'Downtime Type' but still keep it in calculation and show only 'Planned' and 'Unplanned'.  The reason is having Null value in the filter might be confusing for the users.


Solution:


    1)  Create a fake field to assign Null a different value that exists in the data set for field 'Downtime Type'.


        @Fake Field

        CASE [Downtime Type]

        When null then 'Planned'

        Else [Downtime Type]

        END


    2)  From this 'Fake Field', create a set 'Fake Field Set'


    3)  Create a 'Fake Field Set Filter' to be used as a filter


        @Fake Field Set Filter

        CASE [Downtime Type]

        When null then True

        Else [Downtime Type] in [Fake Field Set]


    4)  Drag @Fake Field Set Filter to filter shelf and select 'True'.  Use 'Fake Field Set' as a filter which should have only 2 values 'Planned' and 'Unplanned'.



Many thanks to Diego Martinez for help with the solution.

Qubits, Physical & Logical (Podcast)

 

   
Qubits, Physical & Logical (Podcast)

   



In quantum computing, a qubit is the fundamental unit of information, analogous to a bit (binary digit) in classical computing, but capable of representing 0, 1, or a superposition of both.


A physical qubit is a real, physical system (like a trapped ion or a superconducting circuit) that can exist in a superposition of states.


A logical qubit is a collection of multiple physical qubits to achieve greater stability and error correction.  It's not a physical entity, but a redundant encoding of qubit's quantum state using multiple physical qubits.


Listen to the podcast for detail explanation.

NVIDIA GTC 2025 in San Jose has concluded with a big fanfare and what an amazing conference it was.  This developers’ conference was the destination for all things AI and more, an incredible place to explore and exchange grand ideas from agentic AI to humanoid robots to quantum computing.



Quantum Computing

GTC 2025 debuted Quantum Day, showcasing the rapidly progressing field of quantum computing where the impact will be far-reaching.  This next-generation field will push the technological boundary with extremely fast computing that's beyond today's fastest supercomputers.  Foreseeable future will have QPUs, GPUs, and CPUs working together to extend classical computing.  


The challenges of quantum computing are scalability, fidelity, error correction, coherent time, and latency.  New methods and algorithms will have to be created in order to apply quantum computing to real-world problems (trillion-dollars business idea here).



Strategic Partnership  






ServiceNow expanded NVIDIA partnership to collaborate on Agentic AI capabilities that allow corporate customers to assess AI Agent performance on the powerful ServiceNow Platform.
