    Do not return fields in a query if there is not data

    Hello!

    How do I tell a query to not return a field if there is no data in the field for the records. I know it probably has something to do with null but I'm not sure how to phrase the expression.



    Thank you, in advance.
    Michael

    Query doesn't work that way. Fields cannot be dynamic (not considering CROSSTAB). Field is either included or not included, can't be conditional.

    Can construct a field with expression that will return alternate value if native field is null. But that is still a field in query.

    Thank you. I finally accomplished what I was after by creating 3 separate GeneraID_FK fields. Not ideal but it works.

    Thank you!
