I think you have the empty cell in the excel ....try to impose a condition to fetch the data where it is not null

like where Len(trim(Ename))>0

Ename

Hi Anil,

Always Len() is useful while you are ignoring Null values .so try to use Avinash thought.

Ename

-1

0


But, I want to show


Ename, Sal

Yes , if you want to eliminate the null value then you have to update the condition

TRIM will just eliminate the leading and trilling spaces and it won't eliminate the data

avinashelite

could you please share the script and the who your extracting the data ?? while exporting the data your getting this space or while loading the data your getting this space ??

See This,

Employee:

LOAD Trim(Ename) as Ename,

    Sal

FROM

Employee

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1) where Len(Trim(Ename))>0;

OR

Employee:

LOAD Len(Trim(Ename))>0 as Ename,

    Sal

FROM

Employee

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

Hi Anil,

You can include the below condition in your script as Avinash suggested.

Where Len(Trim(Ename))>0


The script will look like as below.


Directory;

LOAD Ename,

     Sal

FROM

a.xlsx

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1)

Where Len(Trim(Ename))>0;

avinashelite

It should work

Employee:

LOAD Ename,

    Sal

FROM

Employee

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1) where Len(Trim(Ename))>0 and Len(Trim(Sal))>0;

if your still getting the null data ,then please share the excel file and QVW will try to debug the same
