Hi All,

I am new to Qlikview,

I need help, I am trying to have count of records from particular column in database, where there is junk data with special  characters.

for e.g.:

I should get count as 2 , as two fields are there with special characters.

Thank you

Hi Ashish,

=Count({<Name={"=Len(PurgeChar(Upper(Name),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'))>0"}>}Name)


Or

=Count(If(Len(PurgeChar(Upper(Name),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'))>0,1))
