Quickview: Exclude entity if it does not contain a Text1

Hi All.
Is there a way to exclude entities that do not have a Text1 from the following?

E#XFMemberProperty(DimType=Entity, Member=|!PerformPnL_Entity!|, Property=Text1).Base

or

E#XFMemberProperty(DimType=Entity, Member=|!PerformPnL_Entity!|, Property=Text1)

Since I have that in my data management and it shows an error if it does not find Text1, I need to exclude those that do not have Text1

    Hi, the filter you're using returns the text1 rather than the entity name. So based on what you've described, you'll want to use a filter that returns the entity name where text1 isn't blank. Something along the lines of E#Parent.base.where(Text1 <> ''). Now it adds a bit of complexity if the text1 you're returning contains a different entity name than the entity that's being processed. For example, if entity E1000 has a text1 of E2000, then E2000 is being sent to this DM job. You can accomplish this using an XFBR rather than a member filter.
