Why am i getting null and zeros in pivot field values column in tableau?

Question

enter image description hereHi,

When i try to convert my data source( that contains a list of countries as columns with daily deaths noted)into pivot(converting the list of country columns into a single column with all the countries as rows) in tableau, I am getting null values for the column pivot field values.

Here i am attaching my original data source and the sheet which is pivoted

Answer 1

The pivot values show null because there are no data available. Note that, the Tableau data pane will only show you a sample of your data. when you go into Tableau sheet to create your views you can drag pivot value into text in the marks card. That is a true test to see if there are numbers in the pivot value field.
