Hi Steen,

I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, but I guess by "IF (A1)" etc., you mean 
if there is a value in there, or do you mean if it is a truthy value (1, true, 
yes, etc.)? I'll assume the first in this reply.

In theory this should be doable with a combination of null check filters (which 
can cut across fields) and coalesce transformers, but that could easily become 
a mess, especially since combinations of filters can be a bit non-intuitive at 
times.

You could take a look at the JavaScript filter, where you can specify more 
complex rules programmatically, or if it is something you need to do often on 
different datastores, maybe even create a custom filter, which would be a more 
configurable.

This would indeed be a good idea to make easier in general, so I'll add it as a 
suggestion for the null-check filter... The hard part is making sure the simple 
"are all set?" case is not made much harder by supporting the more complex case.

Best regards,
Dennis
