Blanks in Conditional Column
Hi,
I have blanks in my column in the query and I am trying top use it in a conditional column.
What would the test be, it is not null as there is not a null in the column only a blank cell.
Thanks

Here's what you can do:
Create a "Custom column" where custom colum formula =""
Then, reference the newly created, totally blank column in your conditional column setup and "Voila!"
Hope this helps!
Namaste.

'null' may not work in the wizard unless the value is missing. "blank" cells in Excel files may have the apostrophe character -- so use **** ' **** (exclude asterisks/spaces) in the wizard
