Example

None

Jan = 0, Feb = 20, Mar = 25, Q1 = 0

The value of the first child (Jan) is 0, and zero values are considered when calculating the parent value.

Missing

Jan = #MISSING, Feb = 20, Mar = 25, Q1 = 20

The value of the first child (Jan) is #MISSING, and #MISSING values are not considered when calculating parent values, so Q1 = second child (Feb), or 20.

Zeros

Jan = 0, Feb = 20, Mar = 25, Q1 = 20

The value of the first child (Jan) is 0, and zero values are not considered when calculating parent values, so Q1 = second child (Feb), or 20.

Missing and Zeros

Jan = 0, Feb = #MISSING, Mar = 25, Q1 = 25

The value of the first child (Jan) is zero, and second child (Feb) is #MISSING. Because #MISSING and zero values are not considered when calculating parent values, Q1 = third child (Mar), or 25.
