You can do this via the Missing Value that suggested, or via String Manipulation or via Column Expressions, and via some of the available programming languages that Knime support.ĭo you really want to change the data? Will there be any conflict with existing data? Will you want to distinguish between a NULL record vs record with an empty string? Would you want to count how many missing records do you have for example? This is straight forward to do if the missing cells stay as missing values. They would be converted to an empty string of “”, and there are a few ways to do this. These cells would no longer be NULL/empty/uninitialized. Exercise on string manipulation and rule creation hayasaka > Public > KNIMEPress > KNIMEBeginnersLuck4. Additionally, if the string contains a quote. Note that strings which are part of the expression and are not from the input data (or the result of another wrapped function call) need to be enclosed in double quotes ('''). To not see the red “?”, you can replace the empty/uninitialized cells with an empty string. Manipulates strings like search and replace, capitalize or remove leading and trailing white spaces. Knime is not actually adding anything there, it’s just how it displays empty/uninitialized cells. Regarding your question, may I ask what you want to remove the red “?”? It’s just a display thing in Knime. I put the emphasis on red, because you could also have “?” as data, in which case, it will be a black “?”, like any other data. in all selected columns, replaces them with and returns a missing value, if the resulting. Various persons have entered this in the database and have various mistakes like someone has typed ALE XIA 40, someone has not left a space between ALEXIA and 40.

Hi, that is correct, Knime shows a cell with missing values (such as NULL) with a red “?”. toNull(replace(CURRENTCOLUMN, N.A., )) searches for N.A. I have a column in which their is a term which has been corrupted The term is ALEXIA 40.
