In a number formula, is there anyway to default to [empty] if the formula’s conditions are not met? For this specific field, there are some entities that this formula doesn’t apply to. But I don’t want the field to say “0%”. I just want the field to be blank. I know I could technically convert it to a text field, but I’m trying to use the progress bars. ---
