Set a button to show only null values within a field

Hi all,

I have a field named "Status" and I would like to set a button so that when one clicks it, it filters out all non null "Status" values, so that I only keep null Status. I tried it with "select values matching search criteria" action but it doesn't work 😞

Can you help me solve this please ?

Thanks

You could use a mapping load for this, since your table only has two fields. That'd probably be the easiest approach.

This is not directly possible, as null values can't be selected. You could work around this issue e.g. by adding a field in which you replace the null values with a non-null value and filter on that field, or by filtering on another field (which has non-null values) based on a formula which checks the Status field for nulls.

It is what I thought, thank you

I tried to add a value to my other fields but I am not sure of how to achieve that.

Let's say I have a big table with a lot of fields, one of them named "Accounts".
I have another table with only two fields: "Accounts" and "Status".
Thing is not all the Accounts in the first Table are necessarily in the second (not all the Accounts have a Status)
I tried to join the two tables using a left join and by loading the status field with the following line:
if(Status=null(),0,Status) as Status
but it doesnt work !

How to achieve that please ?
