It also provides an overall total for the year. You can now easily see how much each month has contributed in both lost and won closed deals.Note When a dimension is grouped, that dimension's null records are excluded from results,which affects the count of rows in a lens. To prevent the exclusion of null dimension records,assign a default value to those records.
