How to replace blank (null ) values with 0 for all records?

Question

MS Access: How to replace blank (null ) values with 0 for all records?

I guess it has to be done using SQL. I can use Find and Replace to replace 0 with blank, but n

Answer 1

I just had this same problem, and I ended up finding the simplest solution which works for my needs. In the table properties, I set the default value to 0 for the fields that I don't want to show nulls. Super easy.

Answer 2

without 'where's and 'if's ...

Update Table Set MyField = Nz(MyField,0)

Answer 3

UPDATE table SET column=0 WHERE column IS NULL

Answer 4

The following Query also works and you won't need an update query if that's what you'd prefer:

IIF(Column Is Null,0,Column)

Answer 5

Go to the query designer window, switch to SQL mode, and try this:

Update Table Set MyField = 0
Where MyField Is Null; 

Answer 6

UPDATE YourTable SET MyField = 0 WHERE MyField IS NULL

works in most SQL dialects. I don't use Access, but that should get you started.
