OriginPro 2022b (64-bit) SR1 9.9.5.167
Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64

Greetings!

How do I set Data Filter for a column and filter out the rows containing Missing or Blank cells (https://www.originlab.com/doc/Quick-Help/Diff-of-Missing-and-Blank)?

Thank you.

Hi Andrey,

You can refer to this page, using the Worksheet Query to find these rows which are not blank or missing value,
https://www.originlab.com/doc/Origin-Help/Wks-Query-QS#What_Can_I_Enter_in_Condition_Text_Box.3F

I think the condition below can be used:
A != -- (or A != NANUM)

Thanks,
Shirley

Got it!
Does this mean that to date Data Filter cannot filter by -- or NANUM?

Hi Andrey,

When u click the funnel icon and choose Custom Filter...

u can set advanced conditions. The bottom of the dialog mentioned 0/0 for missing value.

So u can enter e.g. x!=0/0 to filter out missing or blank cells.

Thanks, Snow

Dear Snow,

Great feature!
Origin is as always surprisingly deep software.
Does 0/0 correspond to both missing and blank cells?
How do I separate missing and blank cells?

Dear Snow,

I read the blog page and realized three special types of cells: Missing, Blank and Unused.
Let's leave Unused since there is not too much can be done with this type of cells.

As for Data Filter: does 0/0 correspond to either missing or blank cells?

From my trial, it will filter out both missing and blank cells if it's between data.

Use the following to filter out missing values only
x != "--"

Use the following to filter out empty cells only
!isempty(x)
