How to paste empty cells from a column database to the confluence database to maintain the order?

[Dana Aladem]

I am trying to copy a set of data from Airtable database to the confluence database. But there are some empty cells there, so it is not maintain the order. Do you can have a solution for this matter? 

I am thinking of adding "." into those empty cells, but I wanted to see if the confluence database has a better option. 

Thank you in advance :)

Confluence’s database tables treat empty cells as `null`, not as placeholders, so when you paste data from Airtable, any blank values can cause cells to shift if the import tool or copy‑paste operation ignores those nulls. The Confluence database view doesn’t preserve column alignment when data is missing because it expects a value in every cell. The cleanest workaround is to fill those empty cells with a consistent placeholder before pasting—something simple like a dash or “N/A”—so each row maintains the same number of columns. You can then replace those placeholders later using the Confluence database editor or bulk update actions.
