None in tables

Hello. I would like to know if I can use the word "none" inside a table with the meaning of zero. For example:


Anime Genre (Amount)

Sports (7)
Comedy (8)
Horror (none)
Romance (2)


It is for a research paper. Thank you so much. This is my first question of the year. I wish to all of you an excellent 2021!

Why do you not write "0"? Unless there is some special reason not to, I would do that. "Amount" is properly used for non-countable things.
