  • 1.  Resource Import Data Filter and Concatenating fields in Connector Solution 7

    Posted Aug 03, 2010 12:27 PM

    Dear All,

    I am importing from an Excel Spreadsheet where there is a "DELETED" field and I need to filter out these records. If I put in:

    [DELETED] <> 'DELETE'

    then I only get records where the field has something in it (and it is not "DELETED"), rather than all records where the field is not "DELETED". I guess that there is a problem with NULLS? How can I get it to do what I want it to do?

    Also, in the same spreadsheet, I have Address1, Address2, Address3 fields, but just 1 Address field in the Dataclass. How do I use an Expression to append the three Addresses?

    I have tried:

    NULLIF([Address1], '') + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + NULLIF([Address2], '') + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + NULLIF([Address3], '')

    And I have tried:

    [Address1] & vbCrLf & [Address2] & vbCrLf & [Address3]

    Where am I going wrong, (again?)

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Dear all,

    I feel embarrassed - I have solved the first one. I have changed the filter to show:

    [DELETED] <> 'DELETE' OR [DELETED] IS NULL

    This then showed all of the correct records.

    However, I am still having problems with the Address field. I have worked out that the correct syntax is:

    NULLIF([Address1], '') + ' ' + NULLIF([Address2], '') + ' ' + NULLIF([Address3], '')

    but I cannot get the separator to be a carriage return to get the field onto the next line (such as CRLF or CHAR(13) + CHAR(10).

    Anyone know the answer?

    I guess, though, the BIGGER QUESTION is: What are the acceptable values in the Expression field for Connector Solution?

    Regards,

    Dear All,

    The documentation for Connector Solution says that I should be able to use a "\r" for a cariage return or a "\n" for a new line, but neither of these work.

    Does anyone know the answer?

    Thanks in Advance,

    QuietLeni,

    I see that no one responded.  Did you figure out how to add a new line or carriage return via the Connector Solution?

    I opened a ticket with tech support, but they seem to be having trouble figuring this out as well.sad

    Thanks,
    Janelle

    Janelle,

    No, I didn't - I ended up saying to my colleague that I could not put in a CR and concatenated the fields together, so the answer is still out there (with technical support)...
