Set analysis to get only values where len is greater than 1

Hi All,

I am creating a straight table the data is in excel and has some blank cells.. In my straight table I do not want to show blank items.

I know I can filter them out with WHERE clause in script itself... however trying to learn how it can be done with SET ANALYSIS.

Here is something which I am trying:

only({1 <len(Description) = {">1"}> } Description)

Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kamal

try:

only({1<Description = {"=len(trim(Description)) >=1"}>} Description)


-trim will remove any spaces to count them as blanks as well


Hope this helps!

If you can elaborate it more...

why did we use "Description =" then criteria..

only({1<Description = {"=len(trim(Description)) >=1"}>} Description)

Because in set modifier we specify field and selection criteria for this field.  That is

Field = {...}

We cannot use an expression in place of field.
