Customize Current View > Filter > Advanced > Feild="Location", Condition="is not empty

QUESTION
I am Customizing a current view on a public calendar folder
I am trying to filter the view using the "advanced" tab
Then i am setting Field="Location" and Condition="is not empty"

When i apply the view it displays events were the "Location" field is empty
Does anyone know if this is expected or a glitch in the program

QUESTION
When applying Current Views do filters apply in a particular order
For example if your first filter is set to display if empty
And your next filter in the view is set to display if field contains [string}
Well the first filter would filter out every event, so by the time the 2nd filter
is applied no events are available to be filtered. Is this correct

please email me if you have a solution at (E-Mail Removed)

There is a bug with some 'is not empty' conditions, I don't recall location
being one of them... however it's possible that location isn't ever really
empty. Can you use another condition? Maybe contains a or e or i or o? <g>

Filters are applied top down and AND'd together.

can you enter a several strings into the "Value" field when creating filters
(ie: Field=Location, Condition=contains, Value=*,$, or 404
Is this possible to enter multiple values in one entry? where above i've entered 3 diffrent values
And how would you separate them? commas, parenthesis?

Can you not apply two diffrent Conditions to one field
I am trying to apply the "is not empty" Condition, an
I am trying to apply Condition="doesn't contain" Value="$

When i apply the view it only applys the first Condition
Any ideas why?

you can OR conditions:

From contains Betty OR Mike

I *think* commas AND it together.

It depends on the fields... but in all but one of the ones I used, you can
use these two formats to OR them together:

From contains Bob or Mary

From Contains bob
From Contains mary

So...
location is not empty
location doesn't contain $
might work, as long as it;s one of the ones that uses AND operator for
double entries. Also note that you don't want to create double negatives.
does not contain $ or 404 will return every thing that doesn't have $ 404
in it. Also, if the field really has a space or something and isn't truly
empty, is not empty will fail. I suspect that is the problem in this case.


location is not empty
from contains bob
always uses the AND operator.
