  • 1.  Data Table Column Filter

    Posted Thu June 08, 2023 06:04 PM

    Hi all,

    When creating a column filter on a data table column, the option "Missing values" appears with an ON/OFF toggle button. What is this option supposed to do? I can't find any reference to it in any of the documentation. Even looking at the online animations, the toggle button does not appear. Could someone please throw me a bone on this one.

    Thanks

    That's simply a null filter. If product line is null do you want to see it.

    On that report make one entry of product line null, for example:  

    case
       when [C].[C_Great_outdoors_data_module].[page_3].[Product_line] not starts with 'M'
       then [C].[C_Great_outdoors_data_module].[page_3].[Product_line] 
    end

    and then run the report, you will see a null entry instead of Mountaineering Equipment. The use of toggle will be easy to see then.
