Hi Isaac,

BioMart displays "no data" when an empty string or NULL value is retrieved.

Can you check that the column value is NULL instead of the string 'NULL'?


Cheers,

Subject: [BioMart Users] linkouturl for an attribute with no data

Dear BioMart users,

In our local database we store the PubMed IDs of experiments and we use the 
linkouturl property of the corresponding attribute in BioMart 0.8 rc6 to set a 
link for this attribute in the query results that links with the corresponding 
article in PubMed. It is the case that we have experiments with no PubMed IDs 
so in the query results we still get a link that if the attribute in the 
database is NULL by default the link is like 
NULL<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=NULL>.

I've seen that for example Ensembl present a "no data" value for those cases 
were actually there is no data but in this case the link is disabled. Is there 
a way to tell to BioMart not to create a link for attributes with no data ?

Thanks in advance,
