Dear Nuno,
If you need to store NULL value and calculations result in a field - use "String" data type field and use convertions from integer to string and vise versa. As a result you will be able to store integers and NULL in such a field. Here is an article regarding convertion from String to Integer (from our Community) and from Integer to String (from Stack Overflow).
Best regards,

This is not an acceptable response because the String field allows non-numeric answers that generate errors when parsed to numbers. The only reliable work around is to add a boolean field that the user can check to indicate that a zero is really the answer, which is ridiculous.
This is the community article I wrote on parsing a String to an Integer:

Janine White,
There is no such a data type accept of string data type that allows storing NULL (not empty value but NULL) and integer values in it. Also I was referring to your community post when answering this question (you can simply check it if you click on "Sting to Integer" text in my previous reply).
