Analytics: SAQL Grouping but keep null values

One of my dataset columns has a multiple lookup value so I need to use the 'group' SAQL statement so that I can see all of the values (otherwise it just shows one of them, seemingly at random) BUT when I use 'group' it also removes all of the rows that have null from another column I have; and it's important that I know when those rows are null. So I'm stuck, if I don't group I can see my nulls but not all my multiple-lookup values and if I do group all of my null rows disappear! Please help!

Currently, multi-value fields are not fully supported in Einstein Analytics. More information is available here.

Multi-valued dimensions (for example, those used in multi-select picklists) may cause poor performance because multi-value field behavior is undefined for group by or foreach.

Limitations of Multi-Value Fields in Einstein Analytics
  • Not fully supported in UI and code - Faceting, binding, and  SAQL queries involving multi-value fields will likely fail or produce unexpected results.

@Alain Cabon, thanks for the tip! Looks like I'll need to find a different way to go about this. Cheers!
