    <title>topic showing null values in a lookup table in Splunk Search</title>
    <link>https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/showing-null-values-in-a-lookup-table/m-p/104557#M27106</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have lines in multiple lookup tables that look like&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;lista,listb,listc,listd&lt;BR /&gt;
a1,,c1,d1&lt;BR /&gt;
,,b2,c2,d2&lt;BR /&gt;
a3,b3,c3,d3&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;when i do a lookup on these and try to show all of the results it just eats up the lines in the table so i see&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;a1,b2,c1,d1&lt;BR /&gt;
a3,b3,c2,d2&lt;BR /&gt;
empty,empty,c3,d3&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;is there a way to configure lookup tables to populate a value even if there is nothing there?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Yes, you can use the "fillnull"command like:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;SEARCH&gt;|&lt;YOUR lookup=""&gt;| fillnull value="empty"&lt;/YOUR&gt;&lt;/SEARCH&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;the output should now show:&lt;BR /&gt;
a1,empty,c1,d1 &lt;BR /&gt;
empty,b2,c2,d2 &lt;BR /&gt;
a3,b3,c3,d3&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Hope it helps.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
