Empty Check in Data Item (using decision stage)

[Falua]

Hi,

I need to check if a data item (format: number) is empty in a decision stage, or convert the data item format number to text as the empty check is working with a data item formatted in text.
I'll be grateful if I can get a solution to this problem.

Thanks,
Falua

Hi Falua,

A number data item cannot be checked for empty because it is not a string/text.
You can create a new Data item of type Text.
Then using a Calc stage store your Number data item into the Text data item.
Now you can check the Text data item using a Decision stage.

Hi Falua,
Actually you can check if a Number Data Item is Empty or not by this method using Decision state:
Assume:
> Number Data Item : Number
Add a decision state with IsNumber([Number])=True as expression.
If Number is blank it will return False.
