Hi,
I have a purchasing report where stock can be assigned to a location or not. If the stock is stored in a location the location field will contain a value, if its not stored in a location the field is blank.

How can I filter the report to show records if the stock location contains a record?

Appreciate I could do if statements that reference the stock location ID but I thought there might be an easier way?
Thanks

In the select query you can put in a expression in the formula editor like this
 len({someField}) > 0

The somefield would be the location field in your case.  Also in the formula workshop be sure to select Default Values for Nulls (the Exception For Nulls selection may cause an issue).
