Hi All

I need the count total = 9

Enclosed my QVF

If you limit your Reason to Reason = 1, how should a distinct count of Reason show anything larger than One (or zero if Reason = 1 can't be found at all)?

I can't open your QVW at the moment, but if you want a count of your values and not a distinct count, then remove the DISTINCT qualifier.

Hi Stefan

What does a filter pane show?

Hi Stefan

I am not sure your question. As the filter panel does not display any thing , as i never select any filed. may be below image show you what is my issue.

Maybe something like

=Sum( If( Len(Trim( Reason))>0,1,0))

Or

=Count(Reason)

Hi Stefan

Thank you very much for your sharing.

I try both your recommended expression , it display one , even those reason field is not fill with data. ( If you notice that first 4 row , the Reason field not enter any reasons , it should be 0 on the last 2 column ).

Your Reason field shows a '-' value, I misunderstood this as NULL.

So you need to filter this value:

=count({<Reason -= {'-'}>}Reason)
