# Manage Null Values in CSV-Based Decision Tables

Decision tables that use a CSV file store empty cells as null values. If you add the literal string "null", it's treated as invalid. For boolean columns, empty cells default to false. If you have existing CSV files with empty strings that you didn't intend as null values, update the CSV file to reflect your intended behavior.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions where Business Rules Engine is enabled.
