Not seeing a NaN when expected on initial import #377

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Import the attached file (containing simply the number 0 and a header)
2. Edit cells -> Transform: value / value

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect to see NaN - see instead null.

What version of Google Refine are you using?

2.0

What operating system and browser are you using?

Windows Chrome

Please provide any additional information below.

If I transform the column to text and then back to numbers I get the expected 
NaN as though the initial import missed something in construction.

Paul, in the Transform dialog box, at the bottom, what choice did you specify 
for "On error"?

I'm actually looking at the value in the preview pane, even before submitting 
it.

Interestingly, when submitting it, I see "Text transform on 0 cells in column 
number: grel:value/value" -- it's not applied to that cell. (This happens 
regardless of the "On error" setting.)

I can induce a NaN to appear with value.toString().toNumber()/value

I'm seeing an exception thrown, too.
