How to make empty values in Bex to zero so that WEbI also has 0

Question

Hi
I have a webI report on Bex query, some of the values in the columns are empty in Bex, so even the webI report is showing blank values. But when i want to calculate totals, avg, or alerts on that column in WebI then I need to write a formula for each measure saying
if(isnull([keyfigure])) then o else [keyfigure]
It is working in WebI but lot of custom work need to be done, instead is there any setting in Bex or WebI saying that columns with the "blank" values in Bex should be shown as "0" in the webI report column?

Re: Fill empty cell with '0'
Steps to fill empty cell with '0':-
1. Select intersection cell in cross tab.
2. Go to properties tab.
3. In Text Format section, click on Number Format button.
4. Select Format type is 'Number' and check the Custom check box.
5. Enter 0 in all text boxes(Positive, Negative, Equal to zero, and Undefined).
6. Click ok.
Now you can see 0 in the Emply cells of cross tab.
If you want decimal values, enter 0.00 in Positive box.
