I need to find a method to automatically update all the rows for 2 columns and only if the rows not null.
e.g : based on the example data below, I want to update all rows under column 2 and 3 (COL2, COL3) with an increment of 1 and only if the value is not null.
raw data :
expected output :
Thanks,

Reason: remove spaces
cool! that works on line 2.
Further question. What if I want to apply the same formula on all lines?
That's not what you showed, though. Your example data only showed line 2 being changed.
And changing all lines might do something to your header line, which would be bad, unless you don't actually have a header line.
To modify absolutely all lines, remove the 'NR==2', which means, 'only run this code block when NR (line number) is 2'.
-F, and -v OFS=, set the input and output separators, so you don't accidentally change your commas into spaces.
I've highlighted the part which changes the column and made the code a little more obvious. ++ is an operator borrowed from the C language, which means 'add 1 to this variable', that's the longhand equivalent.
$ doesn't mean variable in awk, though. Any unquoted string of letters is a variable. $ means "use this variable or expression as a column" -- so when N=4, $N gives you column 4. And $N=5 sets column 4 to the value of 5. Etc.
So, for every line, this loops over all columns, and adds 1 to any which are purely numbers(i.e. match the regex /^[0-9]+$/ ).
The 1 at the end of the line makes it print every single line.
If I understood the problem correctly, I think this might be closer to what was wanted:
This increments the second field by 1 and the 3rd field by 5 as long as both fields are non-null (after removing spaces). Change the values shown in red if you want to use different increments.
If the file raw contains:
the output will be:
