Help with exclude formula
Used this formula
(CASE when `vessel`like('%RB%') then 'exclude'
when `vessel`like('%ROLL%') then 'exclude'
when `vessel`like('%ADV%') then 'exclude'
when `vessel`like('%REQ%') then 'exclude'
when `vessel`='' then 'exclude'
else 'include' end)
thinking using:
when 'vessel'='' then 'exclude'
would work to exclude the blank cells as well as the others. it did not.
Was given suggestion to use:
Case
when `Vessel` like('%RB%') then 'Exclude'
when `Vessel` like('%ROLL%') then 'Exclude'
when `Vessel` like('%ADV%') then 'Exclude'
when `vessel` like('%REQ%') then 'Exclude'
when IFNULL(`Vessel`,'Y')= 'Y' then 'Exclude'
when `vessel`='' then 'exclude'
else 'Include'
end
This also did not work to exclude the blank cells. If I use
IFNULL(`vessel`,'exclude')
by itself and it works, but I can't get it to combine with the other logic.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

You can add this as another WHEN statement:
WHEN 'vessel' IS NULL THEN 'exclude'
Also for your when `vessel`='' then 'exclude' statement, try changing it to:
when TRIM(`vessel`) ='' then 'exclude'
This will remove any spaces that are in the field.

Hey @Ritwik
I think @MarkSnodgrass is probably right, some how maybe you have nulls and empty strings in there..
here's Mark's idea in one case statement...
Case when `Vessel` like '%RB%' then 'Exclude' when `Vessel` like '%roll%' then 'Exclude' when `Vessel` like '%adv%' then 'Exclude' when IFNULL(`Vessel`, 'Y')='Y' then 'Exclude' when trim(`Vessel`) = '' then 'Exclude' else 'Include' end
try that out..

One thing to be careful of though with
IFNULL
is that ifVessel
happened to have a value ofY
It would also be excluded. I'd recommend using @MarkSnodgrass 's version using an explicitIS NULL
check or alternatively combining your '' check and the NULL check together since you do have an explicit string you're wanting to exclude:Case when `Vessel` like '%RB%' then 'Exclude' when `Vessel` like '%roll%' then 'Exclude' when `Vessel` like '%adv%' then 'Exclude' when TRIM(IFNULL(`Vessel`, ''))='' then 'Exclude' else 'Include' end
