ALLNOBLANK confusion - please help

‎11-14-2024 01:24 AM

Hi

Have I completely missed the point of this function or is there something going on here that I just don't grasp?

It is confusing. ALLNOBLANKROW only filters out blank values if they have been automatically added to create a valid relationship. If the blank values exist in the underlying data then they will still be returned. 

To make sure that blank values are not returned use DISTINCT instead.
