Count text in the column

Hi All,

I am trying to count no of entries in a column respective to different user, but QV is counting the blank entries also. how to solve this issue?

UserEntry
ayes
ayes
a
byes
b
b
cyes
cyes
cyes
c
c

Now when i try to take a count using straight chart, i am getting :

a - Count (3) instead of 2.

b - Count (3) instead of 1

c - Count (5) instead of 3

When i export the data into excel and try to do it then again the same thing happens on excel sheet also.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Jyothish,

Here are a couple expressions you can use:

sum(if(len(trim(Entry))>0,1,0))

or

-1*sum(len(trim(Entry))>0)

Hope it will help
