Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, some help would certainly be appreciated.
Since I fitted a new preinstalled sdcard I’m having an issue with Feeds that are ‘Virtual’ and have calculations. The value of these feeds is always ‘ZERO’ now. They always worked before.
Here is an example.
Here are the two source feeds I’m using.
Here is the Virtual Feed.
And its result is shown as ‘ZERO’
Am I misunderstanding the use of Virtual Feeds?
Hello @Mike_Henderson this should work fine, testing here it seems to work for me with the multiplication in the same way that you have it configured.
Could you copy and paste here the system info from the emoncms admin/info page?

Thanks, all looks fine, when you look at the graph for that vitual feed is it also zero? What about a virtual feed with source feed only? What are the feed intervals? and what happens if you enable averaging on the graph page? I wonder if it’s null values in the feeds tripping it up…
Ok, I’ve made up this test feed.
The source feed has a feed interval of 10 seconds.
I have just noticed when I graph the source feed that the last value is always ‘null’
This’ll be why when I try to place a value from the virtual feed on a dashboard it will show zero as it’s trying to use the last saved value, but my graphs of the virtual feed continue to show data.
I notice that when I check the CSV data of the trend, the last ‘NULL’ value is from a timestamp ahead of the clock.
Looks like I was testing above with an older version. Testing on the latest I was able to replicate and have now fixed the issue and pushed up the update. Version is now 11.2.11 available in both master and stable.
Cheers 
I see numbers other than ‘0’.
@TrystanLea, could you close issues on GitHub with a link to the fix commit/release when you fix things, please
If I had more hours in the day yes! I’ve closed @greentangerine issue, thanks Nick!
Release notes need looking at as there’s quite a bit of change since the last stable release vs stable tag.
Seems to be Ok for me too.
This appears to still be an issue. I’m using Version
low-write 11.3.0 and the virtual feed value is NULL.
Still working here with V11.3.0
However I did notice another I use elsewhare had stopped working a couple of days ago - I will try to check that again next week.
I can draw a graph and see the values, however I only see “0” in other widgets, such as a “dial” in a dashboard.
I am experiencing the same issue; “0” is displayed in single value widgets, such as a “dial”.
I guess that the code should display the value [n-1], since value [n] is null ?
Virtual feeds are working fine on my local dashboard, but I have the same issue as you describe using emoncms online dashboard.
Virtual feeds show as ‘0’, but any graphs with virtual feeds in them display fine - although it is evident that the latest value on the graph for the virtual feed is zero.
Hope that makes sense.
My local dashboard works correctly also. It would appear as though there is an issue with the Emoncms.org dashboard.
Is there a resolution to this issue? Thank you.
