Help with skipping an i in a for loop (or moving to next i) with If statement

Hi all,

I am trying to integrate to Google Maps. Whilst I've managed to do that, I need to handle records where there is no address. Some records do not have an address as I've mashed all the FACTS into one.

What I am doing is peeking inside a field, and, if it's null, I want to move to the next i in the for loop.

If there's an address, then move to the table.

I've mucked around with a few options but none seem to work.

Be gentle, I'm just a beginner.

Here's what I have: what I end up with is a GMAP call that fails as address is often null.

let noRows = NoOfRows('Facts')-1;

for i=1 to $(noRows)

//let a=peek('Pt_FNAME',$(i),'Facts');

//let b=peek('Pt_LNAME',$(i),'Facts');

//let c=peek(‘ProductSold’,$(i),'Facts');

let address=peek('City',$(i),'Facts');

GeocodeResponse:

LOAD

status,

//'$(a)' as Pt_FNAME,

//'$(b)' as Pt_LNAME,

//'$(c)' as ProductSold,

'$(address)' as City,

([result/geometry/location/lat]) as latitude,

    ([result/geometry/location/lng]) as longitude

FROM [http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=$(address)&sensor=false] (XmlSimple, Table is [GeocodeResponse]);

next i;

Here's what I have come up with in the for loop, but I get a script error. Basically, the logic is: if address is null, try the next i, if it's not null, carry on to the GeocodeResponse.

let noRows = NoOfRows('Facts')-1;

for i=1 to $(noRows)

//     let a=peek('Pt_FNAME',$(i),'Facts');
//       let b=peek('Pt_LNAME',$(i),'Facts');
       //let c=peek(‘ProductSold’,$(i),'Facts');
     let address=peek('City',$(i),'Facts');
     if IsNull ($address)) Then
     Exit FOR
     //also have tried Next i;
     Else

Hi Tim,

Try this,

Let noRows = NoOfRows('Facts')-1;

for i=1 to $(noRows)

//let a=peek('Pt_FNAME',$(i),'Facts');

//let b=peek('Pt_LNAME',$(i),'Facts');

//let c=peek(‘ProductSold’,$(i),'Facts');

let address=peek('City',$(i),'Facts');

If Not isnull(address) Then

GeocodeResponse:

LOAD

status,

//'$(a)' as Pt_FNAME,

//'$(b)' as Pt_LNAME,

//'$(c)' as ProductSold,

'$(address)' as City,

([result/geometry/location/lat]) as latitude,

    ([result/geometry/location/lng]) as longitude

FROM [http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=$(address)&sensor=false] (XmlSimple, Table is [GeocodeResponse]);

ELSE

ENDIF


next i;

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. (Except if you're plant powered!)

Thank you so very much Tamil!

And now, onto the troublesome graph plotting!
