Enable NULL and EMPTY Filters
NULL filters (is null
& is not null
) and EMPTY filters (is empty
& is not empty
) are hidden by default. If you wish to filter out either one only, you may enable Show NULL and EMPTY Filter
in Project Settings.
Otherwise, we can use Blank filters to filter out cells with NULL values and EMPTY values.
Supported Filters
