File Null Value

The Null value definition to use for the Azure Data Factory target File Dataset.

The value is emitted as the NullValue attribute on the generated DelimitedText and Xml file datasets, and is also applied by the Databricks file handling. For source-stage file connections, the null value defined on the source file metadata is used instead of this setting. When the setting is blank, the attribute is omitted.

When to Change This Setting

Set a null value token when your file format represents NULL with a specific marker that the datasets should read and write consistently.
