@uniquevals with option to exclude

[chester]

I have an alpha series called group. I'd like all the unique values in 'group' EXCLUDING blanks.
Is there any option that I can use to achieve this?

Code: Select all

svector uniquegroups =@uniquevals(group) list = @wjoin(uniquegroups)

There is not, you'll have to manually remove it.

If you merely want to remove the extra space in the final string, you could use the following quick-and-dirty workaround:

Code: Select all

list = @wjoin(@wsplit(@wjoin(uniquegroups)))

It's not efficient, but it is concise.

There are rows in my alpha series that are actually blank and I'd like to skip them when gathering unique values.
