Description
If you want to hide the null values in the visualization while selecting the Cumulative sum aggregation for a specific column without affecting the other columns in the visualization on the Y-axis, then you can use the mention custom expression on the Y-Axis.
Example: Since there are null values for the months October, November, December in the data, so while doing Cumulative Sum for all months, instead of showing the same value as of September for the rest, we can just hide them by using the bellow expression without affecting the other selected column on the Y-Axis.
I have attached a sample analysis file to represent the same scenario named: HideBars.dxp
