is an option to Query and related functions that specifies how expressions with head Missing should be interpreted in the context of other functions.
DetailsThe default behavior of Query operations is to apply special rules:
Use the ordinary behavior of Missing:
Scope (4)Statistics functions on list of objects ignore Missing objects by default in Query operations:
They act in the same way on Dataset operations:
Using MissingBehaviorNone makes Missing objects be preserved:
This would be equivalent to direct action of Mean on the list or Dataset object:
Statistics functions on lists of insufficient length return Missing["Indeterminate"]:
Some operations with variable number of arguments ignore Missing objects by default in Query:
They act in the same way on Dataset operations:
Using MissingBehaviorNone makes Missing objects be preserved:
Other operations return Missing["Indeterminate"] by default:
Using MissingBehaviorNone makes Missing objects be preserved:
Structural and extraction operations in Query always preserve Missing objects:
The value of the MissingBehavior option does not affect the result:
