I have a problem with a conditional column.

I have a problem with a conditional column.

I have a field that use API to return values in Json
Another field use a formula to obtain specific values of this json

The problem is that sometimes the API return an Error and the field with the formula show me an error message. In this case I need a blank value not an error message.

Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

I have three cases: 1) CMS/Marketplace is one of the list 2) is not on the list 3) the API goes in error

Got it! I for the example above, I created a separate formula column in case you'd like to check the modification I made and seems to work now

Is the other one from Clearbit: CMS/Mark...?

The formula you have insert is ok. Now I have problem in the FORMULA column, it contain this formula "_.chain([{{Wappalyzer: CMS/Marketplace}}, {{PredictLeads: CMS/Platform}}, {{BuiltWith: CMS/Marketplace}}, {{PredictLeads: CMS/Platform}}, {{Clearbit: CMS/Marketplace}}]).compact().groupBy().orderBy(['length', 'value'], ['desc', 'asc']).head().value()[0] || "" I need to analyze every field and obtain the most frequent CMS then (if the frequency is the same) win Wappalyzer -> PredictLeads -> Builtwith ... in order then if null in every field "null"

Marco, I just realized we have an integration to evaluate different list of keywords and prioritize by score based on how often they appear and if they appear in the first, second... position

Just adjusted the formula by the way to return "Null" if all are empty. But Arturo O. may have an alternative integration that works better!

Just noticed that the column limit was reached though, are there any columns you don't need in your table?
