The following example uses three fields loaded to different list boxes, one for First name , one for Last name, and one for Initials.
Example 1: no values selected in First name
GetExcludedCount (Initials) = 0
There are no selections.
Example 2: John selected in First name
GetExcludedCount (Initials) = 5
There are 5 excluded values in Initials with gray color. The sixth cell (JA) will be white as it is associated with the selection John in First name.
Example 3: John and Peter selected in First name
GetExcludedCount (Initials) = 3
John is associated with 1 value and Peter is associated with 2 values, in Initials.
Example 4: John and Peter selected in First name, Franc selected in Last name
GetExcludedCount ([First name]) = 4
There are 4 excluded values in First name with gray color. GetExcludedCount() evaluates for fields with excluded values, including alternative and selected excluded fields.
Example 5: John and Peter selected in First name, Franc and Andersonselected in Last name
