Empty Numerical Constant?

[LarsUlrich]

This is more of an asthetic thing than anything else, but I am looking for a numerical analog to the 'empty string constant'.

I am going to save this data to a file with the 'write to spreadsheet.vi', the array of strings on top will be saved first as a header for the data that is in the lower array.  I would like to separate the peaks and valleys with an empty column, and would rather not just have a giant column of zeros.

There is no such thing as an empty numeric. I would suggest you simply convert everything to strings.

Yeah that's what I was thinking I'd have to do.  Thanks for the advice!

Hi Lars,

how do you input an "empty number" into your calculator resting on your desk or drawer? 😄

I really look forward for a concept of math involving "empty numbers"…

If dealing with floating points, an "NaN" might help....
