What is the syntax to custom filter a field for all of the values that are empty (blank)? I tried ISEMPTY([GROUP_ID]), but it didn't work.
I'd go for
IsNull([Group_ID]) OR Trim([Group_ID])=''
assuming you want both nulls and whitespace
ISEMPTY will only match NULL fields and fields that equal ''
To match NULL fields, fields that equal '', or fields that contain only spaces, try this in the formula tool
REGEX_Match([test_string], '\s*')
I filtered with GROUP_ID = "" and this seemed to work.
