Problem with count operation

Hi,

I am using Business Objects ver 4.1/Oracle.
I have a problem when counting a field of number or characters and one of
the records is null, when looking at the database through the “view” option
I can see the value is “#empty” however the count functions count these
records as well.
Do you have any Idea how to cope with that?
Thanks,

Count works differently on and objects! for measures you
always get the number of “rows” returned including empty values (not sure about
that), for dimensions you get the number of distinct valus (excluding emt values).

hope this helps.
