How to hide blank/empty cells from combo box?

Time:05-10

I have a table/query in Access and some cells are empty.

See image

If I open the Anime combo box there are 3 more empty cells because of the other cells like English Series, Japanese Series and Movie.

ComboBox

Is there any way to hide the empty cells from the combo box and only show anime? (and the same for the other combo boxes.)

CodePudding user response:

Right click the Combo Box and on the bottom press Properties.

At the Data tab, in the Row Source (which is the second one). There I have added the following string at the end:

WHERE Anime <> "";

Now it says:

SELECT CollectionQuery.[Anime] FROM CollectionQuery WHERE Anime <> "";

Making it ignore all that is empty and only show fields in the combo box with value.
