If you want to do it you will need to use an expression where&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
operator: &amp;quot;is null&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
        or &lt;br /&gt;
operator: &amp;quot;not null&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason being is facets limit your operator to &amp;quot;=&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;&amp;lt;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;between&amp;quot; but you specifically need the &amp;quot;is null&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;not null&amp;quot; operator options which are only available to expressions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My answer is based on version 18.2 this might not be the case for newer versions.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is there a way to compare the NULL value in the facets?&lt;br /&gt;Basically I want to</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/11524?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Aug 2014 19:22:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e97165a6-a478-4c62-876b-feab694e7986</guid><dc:creator>aksharc</dc:creator><description>Ummm.
