fix: cast numeric monitors to Nullable on ClickHouse (#1094) - #1095
On ClickHouse, edr_type_float() is Float32, which is non-Nullable. The max, min, average, sum and zero_count monitors cast the column with cast(<col> as Float32), so as soon as one NULL lands in the monitored window ClickHouse raises Code: 349 ... Cannot convert NULL value to non-Nullable type and the whole test errors. zero_count has the same problem because ClickHouse evaluates the cast in the case branch even for NULL rows. The ClickHouse standard_deviation and variance overrides already cast to Nullable(Float32); these five monitors didn't.
What changed
Added a dispatched helper, edr_cast_numeric_monitor_column, in column_numeric_monitors.sql. default__ emits exactly the same cast as before, and clickhouse__ wraps the type in Nullable(...).
max, min, average, sum and zero_count now use the helper. On non-ClickHouse adapters the compiled SQL is unchanged.
The helper stays in this file on purpose: the file is excluded from sqlfmt because sqlfmt would lowercase Nullable.
Tests
New integration test: test_anomalyless_numeric_column_anomalies_with_nulls in test_column_anomalies.py. It runs max/min/average/sum/zero_count on a Nullable numeric column that has a NULL every day, including in the detection window.
Run locally against the docker-compose services (ClickHouse latest and Postgres 15), with dbt-core 1.12.6, dbt-clickhouse 1.10.3 and dbt-postgres 1.11.0:

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Numeric column anomaly checks now handle null values correctly, including on ClickHouse. Maximum, minimum, average, and sum exclude nulls from their results, while zero-count checks treat nulls as zero.
Checks now report expected results for columns containing zero, positive values, and nulls, avoiding incorrect failures for these inputs.
…#1094)
On ClickHouse, max/min/average/sum/zero_count cast the column to
Float32, which is non-Nullable, so a single NULL in the monitored window
raised Code 349 instead of being ignored. Route these casts through a
dispatched helper whose ClickHouse variant casts to Nullable(Float32),
as the stddev and variance monitors already do.

Walkthrough
Numeric column monitors now use an adapter-dispatched cast. The default cast uses the configured float type, while the ClickHouse cast uses a nullable float type. An integration test checks five numeric anomaly metrics with data that includes nulls.
Changes: Numeric monitor null handling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Dispatch numeric casts and verify monitor results macros/edr/data_monitoring/monitors/column_numeric_monitors.sql, integration_tests/tests/test_column_anomalies.py
The max, min, average, sum, and zero_count monitors use the dispatched cast macro. Its ClickHouse implementation casts to Nullable(Float). The integration test checks that all five monitors pass with null-containing numeric data.
The production fix is covered for the reported NULL-handling behavior, but the regression test can still pass when a monitoring bucket is missing; strengthen that assertion as a bounded follow-up.

Assert the calculated values from data_monitoring_metrics.
multiple_results=True returns rows from elementary_test_results, which does not contain metric_value. Read the matching rows from data_monitoring_metrics and assert max=10, min=0, average=5, sum=15, and zero_count=2.
Identical buckets can still pass the anomaly checks when NULL is converted to zero. The average would then be 3.75 instead of 5.

Read the max/min/average/sum/zero_count rows from data_monitoring_metrics
so a NULL read as 0 (average 3.75 instead of 5) fails the test even when
the anomaly checks still pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
@coderabbitai Addressed in 451a2b2. test_anomalyless_numeric_column_anomalies_with_nulls now reads the amount rows from data_monitoring_metrics and checks that every bucket stores max=10, min=0, average=5, sum=15 and zero_count=2 (zero_count counts NULLs as zeros by design).
Checked locally: it passes on ClickHouse and Postgres. On ClickHouse it fails when the cast is changed to coalesce(..., 0). The full test_column_anomalies.py suite passes on ClickHouse (21) and pre-commit is clean.

@zerafachris Thanks for the update. I verified that the test reads stored amount metrics and checks max=10, min=0, average=5, sum=15, and zero_count=2. The average assertion catches NULL-to-zero substitution, which would produce 3.75.
This addresses the regression-test concern. I did not rerun the tests; the ClickHouse and Postgres results remain based on your local checks.

Addressed CodeRabbit's outside-diff note (lines 203-211) in 346f0a8. The NULL test now selects bucket_end and checks each bucket's full metric map against the expected values, so a bucket with a wrong or missing metric fails the test. It does not assert an exact bucket count: the data covers 31 days, but the number of monitored buckets depends on days_back and the backfill window, and pinning it would tie this test to those defaults. Re-ran it on ClickHouse (--skip-init) and Postgres, and both pass. pre-commit is clean.
