Hi,

 

Can someone identify the Parse Error Malformed Function call in this customer filter?  All letters are colored in Alteryx so it pretends like it is a good formula.

 

isnull([BB File} or Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")

Try this:

 

isnull([BB File]) or Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")

below the correct one 

isnull([BB File]) or Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")

you used "}" instead of "]" and you forgot the parenthesis after the null

 

Hope that helps !

Say how I say "Does Not Contains" instead of contains?

 

isnull([BB File]) or Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")

Try this

 

isnull([BB File]) or not Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")

 

You can use 

 

isnull([BB File]) or ! Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")

 

Hope that helps!

 

If it solve the problem please mark it as solved 🙂

Atom,

 

Not sure what you mean. 

 

Tried this: isnull([BB File]) or not Contains ([Amazon Siebel Brand],"Does not Qualify")  Letters are all colored but the result is not correct.   

 

If I type in Does Not Contains-letters turn black.

 

It's so close...
