NA makes far more sense than NULL in report results from a user perspective.

Hi Team,

Showing NULL values in the reports results reads like there is an error, It just looks odd. NA makes far more sense from a user perspective. NULL being shown doesn't look as user friendly and may be taken to mean there's an error.

@Adithya Kathi  - while from a user friendly-ness perspective it might make sense many users have a use-case of having both these separately displayed as is.  We have however heard that we need to better control the way null and empty are filterable and the team has already taken up dev on it
