Filtering out blank fields

  • Article

Some of you have noticed that the Chart displayed in “Customer Order - Summary” contained a series label called Series 1.

Well the reason for that being shown is because we have missed to filter out all customer with have no data in the field: Chart_SalesOrderAmountLCY.Value

So how is that actually done? Well let me show you:

1. Design Report 70000

2. Select “View / Layout”

3. Right click the chart in the bottom of the report

4. Select “Filters” tab

5. Type the follow:

Expression:
=System.String.IsNullOrEmpty(Fields!Chart_SalesOrderAmountLCY.Value)

Operator:
=

Value:
=False

6. With this filter we now filter out where "Chart_SalesOrderAmountLCY.Value” is equal blank.

7. Now save and compile the report and display in RoleTailored client. Now only customers with outstanding orders are shown in the chart.

I have updated the demo reports package to reflect this change.

The reports can be downloaded from here.
