SQL Essentials: NVL Function Explained
Overview
NetSuite Saved Searches are indispensable for data extraction and analysis. However, dealing with null values can complicate analysis. Enter the NVL function, a powerful tool for substituting nulls with desired values.

NVL(expression, substitute_value)
The NVL function evaluates 'expression' and returns 'substitute_value' if 'expression' is null; otherwise, it returns the value of 'expression' itself.
For example:

Formula: NVL({quantityonhand}, 0) + NVL({quantitycommitted}, 0) + NVL({quantitybackordered}, 0)
